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.

• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-

LATCH – Lower Anchors And Tethers 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.
