Using Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren (LATCH)
WARNINGS
Do not attach two child safetyrestraints to the same anchor. In acrash, one anchor may not be strongenough to hold two child safety restraintattachments and may break, causingserious injury or death.
Depending on where you secure achild restraint, and depending on thechild restraint design, you may blockaccess to certain seatbelt buckleassemblies and LATCH lower anchors,rendering those features potentiallyunusable. To avoid risk of injury, make sureoccupants only use seating positionswhere they are able to be properlyrestrained.
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorswhere the vehicle seatback and seatcushion meet (called the seat bight) andone top tether anchor behind that seatingposition.
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 childrestraint. However, you can still use theseatbelt to attach the child restraint if thelower anchors are not used. Forforward-facing child restraints, you mustalso attach the top tether strap to theproper top tether anchor if a top tetherstrap has been provided with your childrestraint.
Your vehicle has LATCH lower anchors forchild restraint installation at the followingseating positions (LATCH is not availableon Regular Cab):

Crew Cab and Super Cab
The lower LATCH anchors are at the rearsection of the rear seat between thecushion and seatback. Follow the childrestraint manufacturer's instructions toproperly install a child restraint with LATCHattachments.
Follow the instructions later in this chapteron attaching child safety seats with tetherstraps.
Attach LATCH lower attachments of thechild restraint only to the anchors shown.
Use of Inboard Lower Anchorsfrom the Outboard SeatingPositions (Center Seating Use)
WARNING
The standardized spacing for LATCHlower anchors is 11 in (280 mm)center to center. Do not use LATCHlower anchors for the center seatingposition unless the child restraintmanufacturer's instructions permit andspecify using anchors spaced at least asfar apart as those in this vehicle.
The lower anchors at the center of thesecond row rear seat are spaced 26 in(652 mm) apart. The standardized spacingfor LATCH lower anchors is 11 in (280 mm)center to center. You cannot install a childrestraint with rigid LATCH attachments atthe center seating position. LATCHcompatible child restraints (withattachments on belt webbing) can only beused at this seating position provided thatthe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions permit use with the anchorspacing stated. Do not attach a childrestraint to any lower anchor if an adjacentchild restraint is attached to that anchor.

Each time you use the safety seat, checkthat the seat is properly attached to thelower anchors and tether anchor, ifapplicable. Tug the child restraint from sideto side and forward and back where it issecured to the vehicle. The seat shouldmove less than 1 in (2.5 cm) when you dothis for a proper installation.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,the risk of a child being injured in a crashgreatly increases.
Combining Seatbelt and LATCHLower Anchors for Attaching ChildSafety Seats
When used in combination, either theseatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors maybe attached first, provided a properinstallation is achieved. Attach the tetherstrap afterward, if included with the childrestraint.
Using Tether Straps
Many forward-facing child safety seatsinclude a tether strap which extends fromthe back of the child safety seat and hooksto an anchoring point called the top tetheranchor. Tether straps are available as anaccessory for many older safety seats.
Contact the manufacturer of your childrestraint for information about ordering atether strap, or to obtain a longer tetherstrap if the tether strap on your safety seatdoes not reach the appropriate top tetheranchor in the vehicle.
The passenger seats of your vehicle mayhave built-in tether strap anchors behindthe seats as described below.
The tether anchors in your vehicle may beloops of webbing above the seatback oran anchor bracket behind the seat on therear edge of the seat cushion.
The rear seat in the Crew Cab and SuperCab has three straps along the top of theseatback that function as both routingloops for the tether straps and anchorloops.
