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 certifyingthat it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Ve-
hicle 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.
• If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is less than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , you may
use either the LATCH anchors or the seat belt to
install the child restraint (not both at the same
time) . • If the combined weight of the child and child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use the
vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint.
• Be sure to follow the child restraint manufactur- er’s instructions for installation.
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 forward-facing child re-
straints be secured to the designated an-
chor point on the vehicle.
LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND
TETHERS FOR CHILDREN) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special anchor
points that are used with LATCH system compat-
ible child restraints. This system may also be
referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX compatible
system. With this system, you do not have to use
a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint
unless the combined weight of the child and child
restraint exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg) . If the com-
bined weight of the child and child restraint is
greater than 65 lbs (29.5 kg) , use the vehicle’s
