Can two child restraints be at-
tached using a common lower

LATCH anchorage?

Never “share” a LATCH anchorage

with two or more child restraints.

If the center position does not have

dedicated LATCH lower anchor-

ages, 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 passen-

ger 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 re-

straint owner’s manual for more

information.

Can the head restraints be re-

moved?

Yes, center position only.
