Introduction

8.Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt. This isnecessary to remove the remainingslack that will exist once the extraweight of the child is added to the childrestraint. It also helps to achieve theproper snugness of the child seat toyour vehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle will help to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9.Attach the tether strap (if the child seatis equipped).
10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward andback to make sure the seat is securelyheld in place.
To check this, grab the seat at the belt pathand attempt to move it side to side andforward and back. There should be nomore than 1 in (2.5 cm) of movement forproper installation.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger SafetyTechnician to make certain the childrestraint is properly installed. In Canada,check with Transport Canada for referralto a Child Car Seat Clinic.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren (LATCH)
WARNING
Never attach two child safety seatsto the same anchor. In a crash, oneanchor may not be strong enough tohold two child safety seat attachmentsand may break, causing serious injury ordeath.
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorslocated where the vehicle seatback andseat cushion meet (called the seat bight)and one top tether anchor located behindthat seating position.
LATCH compatible child safety seats havetwo rigid or webbing mountedattachments that connect to the two loweranchors at the LATCH equipped seatingpositions in your vehicle. This type ofattachment method eliminates the needto use seatbelts to attach the child seat,however the seatbelt can still be used toattach the child seat if the lower anchorsare not used. For forward-facing childseats, the top tether strap must also beattached to the proper top tether anchor,if a top tether strap has been provided withyour child seat. We recommend the use ofa child safety seat having a top tetherstrap. See Using Tether Straps in thischapter.
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors forchild seat installation at the seatingpositions marked with the child seatsymbol.
