5. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint,

pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the
lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder
belt back into the retractor. If you are using a
forward-facing child restraint, you may find it helpful
to use your knee to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.

6. If your child restraint manufacturer recommends

using a top tether, attach and tighten the top
tether to the top tether anchor. Refer to the
instructions that came with the child restraint and
see

Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children

(LATCH) on page 1-37

.

7. Push and pull the child restraint in different

directions to be sure it is secure.

To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is attached
to the top tether anchor, disconnect it. Unbuckle the
vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way. The
safety belt will move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or larger child passenger.

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position

If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see

Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children

(LATCH) on page 1-37

.

There is no top tether anchor in the right front
passenger’s position. Do not secure a child seat in this
position if a national or local law requires that the
top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top tether must
be anchored. See

Lower Anchors and Tethers

for Children (LATCH) on page 1-37

if the child restraint

has a top tether.
