If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head restraint
and you are using a
single tether, route the
tether under the headrest
or head restraint and in
between the headrest or
head restraint posts.

3. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make

sure it is securely held in place. To check, grasp
the child restraint at the LATCH path and attempt
to move it side‐to‐side and back‐and‐forth. There
should be no more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of movement,
for proper installation.

Securing a Child Restraint
in a Rear Seat Position

When securing a child restraint in a rear seating
position, study the instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle.

If the child restraint has the LATCH system, see
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on
page 2‑45
for how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If a child restraint is secured in
the vehicle using a safety belt and it uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 2‑45
for top tether anchor locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top
tether anchor 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 strap must be
anchored.

In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.

If the child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using the safety belt to secure the child
restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint when and
as the instructions say.
