Seating and safety restraints
122
Do not attach a child seat to
any lower anchors for child
seat installation anchor if an
adjacent child seat is attached to
that anchor. In a crash, one
anchor may not be strong enough
to hold two child seat
attachments and may break,
causing serious injury or death.
The LATCH anchors are located on
the rear section of the seat cushion,
at the bottom of the seatback.
Follow the child seat
manufacturer's instructions to
properly install safety seats with
LATCH or LATCHĆcompatible
attachments.
Attach the LATCH or
LATCHĆcompatible child
seat only to the appropriate
locations shown.
Once you have installed the LATCH
safety seat, assure that the seat is
properly attached to the LATCH
and tether anchors. Also, test the
safety seat before you place the
child in it. Tilt the seat from side to
side. Also try to tug the seat
forward. Check to see if the anchors
hold the seat in place.
If the safety seat is not
anchored properly, the risk
of a child being injured in a
collision greatly increases.
