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–SEAT-CHECK
(1–866–732–8243).
• Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional information:

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.
• 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 alone instead of the LATCH anchorage
system once the combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
• 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.
