WARNING:

A child in a child restraint in the center front seat
can be badly injured or killed by the frontal
airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child
restraint in the center front seat. It is always better
to secure a child restraint in a rear seat.

Do not use child restraints in the center front seat
position.

When securing a child restraint in a rear seating
position, study the instructions that came with your child
restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle.

Child restraints and booster seats vary considerably in
size, and some may fit in certain seating positions
better than others. Always make sure the child restraint
is properly secured.

Depending on where you place the child restraint and
the size of the child restraint, you may not be able to
access adjacent safety belt assemblies or LATCH
anchors for additional passengers or child restraints.
Adjacent seating positions should not be used if the
child restraint prevents access to or interferes with the
routing of the safety belt.

Wherever a child restraint is installed, be sure to secure
the child restraint properly.

Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can
move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any
child restraint in your vehicle — even when no child
is in it.

Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH)

The LATCH system holds a child restraint during
driving or in a crash. This system is designed to make
installation of a child restraint easier. The LATCH
system uses anchors in the vehicle and attachments on
the child restraint that are made for use with the LATCH
system.
