CHILD RESTRAINTS

Installing Child Restraints In Passenger Wagons

Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.

Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.

NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.Seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.

• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional

information:

LATCH – Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

• Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH,

which stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.

• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors.

The rear center seating position has a top tether anchor only.

LATCH System Weight Limit

You may use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and
the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether anchor instead of
the LATCH system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
