Securing a Child Restraint in the Center
Rear Seat Position
U
You’ll be using the lap belt.
A
child in
a
child restraint in the center front seat
can be badly injured
by
the right front passenger
air bag if it inflates. Never secure
a
child restraint
in the center front seat. It’s always better to
secure
a
child restraint in the rear seat.
You
may,
however, secure
a
forward-facing child restraint
in the right front passenger seat, but only with
the seat moved all the way back.

See the earlier part about the top strap
if
the child
restraint has one.

Make the belt as long as possible
by
tilting the latch
plate and pulling it along the belt.
Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
Run the vehicle’s safety belt through
01-
around the
restraint. The child restraint instructions
will
show
you how.
