child with enough force to cause
very serious or fatal injuries. If a
small child must be closely
watched, we recommend that
another adult sit in the back seat
with the child.
Improperly placing a
forward-facing child seat in the
front seat can result in serious
injury or death if the airbags
inflate.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in the front,
move the vehicle seat as far
back as possible and properly
restrain the child.
If it is necessary to put a forward-
facing child seat in the front,
move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible, be sure the child
seat is firmly secured to the
vehicle, and that the child is
properly strapped in the seat.
Installing a Child Seat With a
Lap/Shoulder Belt
The lap/shoulder belts in the outer
back and front passenger seating
positions have a locking
mechanism that must be activated
to secure a child seat.
The following pages provide
instructions on how to secure a
forward-facing child seat with this
type of seat belt.
If you have a child seat designed
to attach to the vehicle’s LATCH
anchorage system, follow the
instructions on page 39.
See page 34 for how to secure a
forward-facing child seat in the
center back seat with the lap belt.
1. With the child seat in the
desired seating position, route
the belt through the child seat
according to the seat maker’s
instructions, then insert the
latch plate into the buckle.
