to as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system. Some child restraints include
rigid or webbing-mounted attachments that can
be connected to these anchors. (See

“Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren

System (LATCH) (models with rear seat)” page
1-17.)
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be used.
For the models without rear seat, the child
restraint is installed on the front passenger’s
seat using the seat belt and tether anchorages
(if required). (See

“Forward-facing child

restraint installation using the seat belts” page
1-26 and

“Installing top tether strap” page

1-30.)
Several manufacturers offer child restraints for
infants and small children of various sizes. When
selecting any child restraint, keep the following
points in mind:
. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying

that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

. Check the child restraint in your vehicle to

be sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s
seat and seat belt system.

. If the child restraint is compatible with your

vehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be
sure the child restraint is compatible with
your child. Choose a child restraint that is
designed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child
restraint at all times while the vehicle is
being operated. Canadian law requires the
top tether strap on forward-facing child
restraints be secured to the designated
anchor point on the vehicle.
