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 or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.
• 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.
• The second row seating postions and the third row center position 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. 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.
