Either spread the two LATCH equipped seats to the outboard positions or use the regular lap belt on the center one (If the seat has a tether, be sure to also attach it to the center tether anchor). Secondly, those LATCH equipped child seats with rigid LATCH attachments will not latch in the center rear position because those two middle anchors are too far apart. You can only attach the rigid LATCH equipped child seats to the outboard seat LATCH anchors that have the proper spacing for that type of child seat. If your child seat has flexible LATCH attachments, be sure that the manufacturer's instructions say that it can reach to anchors spaced at least 500 mm (19 in) apart. WARNING: Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death. The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the rear seat between the cushion and seat back. art=f12ss562_a Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. WARNING: Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors shown. If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, do not tighten the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat cushion when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash. Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor.
