CHILD RESTRAINTS

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 (1–866–

732–8243).

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

LATCH — Lower Anchors For CHildren

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

stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.

• All rear seating positions have lower anchors and top tether anchors.

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).

Locating LATCH Anchorages

The lower anchorages are round bars that

are found at the rear of the seat cushion where

it meets the seatback, below the anchorage

symbols on the seatback. They are just visible

when you lean into the rear seat to install the

child restraint. You will easily feel them if you

run your finger along the gap between the

seatback and seat cushion.
