2009 JEEP WRANGLER seats

NOTE:When using the LATCH attaching system to
install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts
not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out
of reach of children. It is recommended that before
installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, route the seat belt through the
child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This should
stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inquisitive child.
Remind all children in the vehicle that the seat belts are
not toys and should not be played with, and never leave
an unattended child in the vehicle.
All three rear seating positions of the four door model
have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodat-
ing LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible,
webbing-mounted lower attachments. The two door
model can accommodate flexible LATCH-compatible child seats in the two outboard seating positions only.
The two door model does not have a center seating
position. Child seats with fixed lower attachments must
be installed in the outboard positions only in both the
two door and four door models. Regardless of the
specific type of lower attachment, NEVER install
LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share
a common lower anchorage.
If you are installing LATCH-compatible child restraints
in adjacent rear seating positions, you can use the
LATCH anchors or the vehicle’s seat belt for the outboard
position, but you must use the vehicle’s seat belt at the
center position. If your child restraints are not LATCH-
compatible, you can only install the child restraints using
the vehicle’s seat belts. Please refer to “Installing Child
Restraints Using the Vehicle Seat Belt” in this section for
typical installation instructions.
