Important special steps when installing a
child restraint with LATCH/UCRA lower
universal anchorages or with the vehicle
safety belt.
You must take special precautions to prevent a
child from playing with an unused safety belt and
becoming entangled with it
route the center safety belt and the unused safe-
ty belt for the seating position where the child
restraint is being installed securely out of the
child’s reach.
How to tell if the child restraint is properly
installed
–
The child restraint is flush with both the seat
cushion and the seat backrest, unless a small
gap between the child restraint and the seat
backrest is allowed by the child restraint man-
ufacturer.
–
The child restraint does not hang over the
edge of the vehicle seat by more than what is
allowed by the child restraint manufacturer.
–
The child restraint is centered in the seating
position and is not installed at an angle.
–
The child restraint does not move forward or
sideways by more than about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
