may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head

restraint to get a better fit. If the rear seat can be moved

forward and rearward in the vehicle, you may wish to

move it to its rear-most position to make room for the

child seat. You may also move the front seat forward

to allow more room for the child seat.

4. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child

restraint to the lower anchorages in the selected seat-

ing position.

5. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the

top tether anchorage. See the section “Installing Child

Restraints Using the Top Tether Anchorage” for direc-

tions to attach a tether anchor.

6. Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint

rearward and downward into the seat. Remove slack

in the straps according to the child restraint manufac-

turer’s instructions.

7. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by

pulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt

path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm)

in any direction.

How To Stow An Unused ALR Seatbelt
When using the LATCH attaching system to install a child

restraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not being used by

other occupants or being used to secure child restraints. An

unused belt could injure a child if they play with it and

accidentally lock the seatbelt retractor. Before installing a

child restraint using the LATCH system, buckle the seat

belt behind the child restraint and out of the child’s reach.

If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child restraint

installation, instead of buckling it behind the child re-

straint, route the seat belt through the child restraint belt

path and then buckle it. Do not lock the seatbelt. Remind

all children in the vehicle that the seat belts are not toys and

that they should not play with them.
