2010 Infiniti FX50 Owner's Manual - Page 40

This vehicle is equipped with a universal child restraint lower anchor system, referred to as the Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren System or LATCH. Some child restraints include two rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can be connected to these lower anchors. For details, see "Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren System (LATCH)" later in this section. If you do not have a LATCH compatible child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used. (See "CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT BELTS" later in this section.) In general, child restraints are also designed to be installed with a lap/shoulder seat belt. Several manufacturers offer child restraints for infants and small children of various sizes. When selecting any child restraint, keep the following points in mind: ● Choose only a restraint with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. ● Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's seat and seat belt system. ● If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Choose a child restraint that is designed for your child's height and weight. Always follow all recommended procedures. All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territories require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint at all times while the vehicle is being operated. Canadian law requires the top tether strap on frontfacing child restraints to be secured to the designated anchor point on the vehicle.
