Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear
Seat Position

You’ll be using the lap

-

shoulder belt. See the earlier

part about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the
child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.

CAUTION:

On two

-

door models, a child can be seriously

injured if you secure a child restraint with a
safety belt that’s hooked into a safety belt hanger.
In a crash, the safety belt won’t be able to do its
job if it’s hooked into a belt hanger. Always make
sure the safety belt is unhooked from the belt
hanger before it’s used to secure a child restraint.

The safety belt hangers should only be used to
store the belts when the seatback is folded down.
(See “Folding Rear Seat” in the Index.)

1. Put the restraint on the seat.

2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.

If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face
or neck, put it behind the child restraint.
