Installing 3 child restraints on the second row
With the right combination of child restraints it is
possible to install three child restraints on the
second row at the same time. However, some
child restraints are wider than others. It is not
possible to properly install three wide child re-
straints on the second row at the same time. If
you need to install three child restraints at the
same time, always make sure that the child re-
straints are properly installed.
Be especially careful when installing a child re-
straint on the center seating position in the sec-
ond row as it is narrower than the outboard posi-
tions. A wide child restraint installed on the cen-
ter seat may cover the safety belt buckles for the
other seating positions. Do not allow someone to
ride in a seating position where the safety belt
buckle is covered by a child restraint

ter Safety belts .
A child restraint in the center seating position
may also contact or push up against the safety
belt buckles, which can damage the buckles and
make them unusable or unsafe. Always check
that the child restraint does not contact any of
the safety belt buckles. Check the placement of
the child restraint regularly to make sure that it
has not shifted and come into contact with any
of the safety belt buckles. Although properly in-
stalling the child restraint and regularly checking
its placement will help to prevent damage to the
safety belt buckles, installing a protective cover
on the buckles will provide additional protection

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).
–
The child restraint does not contact or push
against any of the safety belt buckles, because
this can cause damage to the buckles and
make the buckles unusable or unsafe.
–
The child restraints do not interfere with each
other and each remains fully functional and
accessible to properly restrain and protect
each child.
–
The child restraint is installed with LATCH/
UCRA or the vehicle safety belt according to
the weight limits stated on the child restraint
and that the child restraint’s top tether is used
as instructed by the child restraint manufac-
turer.
