3. The back of the child restraint should be se-

cured against the seatback.

If necessary, remove the head restraint/headrest
to obtain the correct child restraint fit. If the head
restraint/headrest is removed, store it in a secure
place. Be sure to reinstall the head
restraint/headrest when the child re-
straint is removed
. See “Adjust” in this sec-
tion for headrest adjustment information.

If the seating position does not have an adjust-
able head restraint/headrest and it is interfering
with the proper child restraint fit, try another seat-
ing position or a different child restraint.

4. For child restraints that are equipped with

webbing-mounted attachments, remove any
additional slack from the anchor attachments.
Press downward and rearward firmly in the
center of the child restraint with your knee to
compress the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while tightening the webbing of the an-
chor attachments.

5. Tighten the tether strap according to the manu-

facturer’s instructions to remove any slack.

6. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-

fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the LATCH attachment path. The child re-
straint should not move more than 1 inch (25
mm), from side to side. Try to tug it forward
and check to see if the LATCH attachment
holds the restraint in place. If the restraint is
not secure, tighten the LATCH attachment as
necessary, or put the restraint in another seat
and test it again. You may need to try a differ-
ent child restraint. Not all child restraints fit in
all types of vehicles.
