NOTE:

the installation of the child restraint, the head restraint
may be folded and the child seat installed in front of it
(Two-Door Models).
Car Seat With Head Restraint Folded
Locating The LATCH Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round bars that are
found at the rear of the seat cushion where it
meets the seatback. They are just visible when
you lean into the rear seat to install the child
restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your finger
along the gap between the seatback and seat cushion. If
your vehicle is equipped with anchorage symbols on the
seatback, they will be located just above the lower
anchorages.
Can two child restraints be attached using a common lower LATCH
anchorage?
No
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints. If the
center position does not have dedicated LATCH lower anchorages, use the
seat belt to install a child seat in the center position next to a child seat
using the LATCH anchorages in an outboard position.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of the front passenger
seat?
Yes
The child seat may touch the back of the front passenger seat if the child
restraint manufacturer also allows contact. See your child restraint owner’s
manual for more information.
Can the rear head restraints be removed?
Two Door Models – No
Four Door Models – Yes
Two Door Models — None
Four Door — The center head restraint can be removed if it interferes with
the installation of the child restraint.
See “Head Restraints” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle” for further
information.
Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH
WARNING!
Always make sure the head restraint is in its upright
position when the seat is to be used by an occupant
who is not in a child restraint. Sitting in a seat with the
head restraint in its lowered position could result in
serious injury or death in a collision.
