SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN

Child and infant or child safety seats

Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the
child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions with the
safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the
safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or
collision.

When installing a child safety seat:
• Review and follow the information

presented in the Airbag
Supplemental Restraint System
section in this chapter.

• Use the correct safety belt buckle

for that seating position (the
buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).

• Insert the belt tongue into the

proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.

WARNING: Do not install a child seat in a center facing jump
seat.

• Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety

seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.

• Place seat back in upright position.
• Put the safety belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to Automatic

locking mode (passenger side front seat).

• LATCH lower anchors are recommended for use by children up to 48

pounds (22 kg) in a child restraint. Top tether anchors can be used
for children up to 60 pounds (27 kg) in a child restraint, and to
provide upper torso restraint for children up to 80 pounds (36 kg)
using an upper torso harness and a belt-positioning booster.

Mazda recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether
strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with LATCH and
