5. To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the
retractor while you push down on the child restraint. If
you’re using a forward-facing child restraint, you
may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on
the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
6. Push and pull the restraint in different directions to
be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an
adult or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in a
Center Rear Seat Position
If you have a extended cab or crew cab pickup, you can
secure a child restraint in the center rear seat position.
Crew Cab
When you secure a child restraint in the center rear
seat position of a crew cab, you’ll be using a
lap-shoulder belt that works the same way as the safety
belts in the rear outside seat positions. For instructions
on how to secure a child restraint using a lap-shoulder
belt see
Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside
Seat Position on page 1-54.
