5. If your child restraint has a top tether and the
position that you are using has a top tether anchor,
attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether
anchor. Refer to the instructions that came with the
child restraint and to step 5 under Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1-55.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, if the top tether is attached
to the top tether anchor, disconnect it. Unbuckle the
vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to
work for an adult or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in the
Center Rear Seat Position
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) on page 1-55.
If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the
child restraint in the center rear seating position.
To secure a child restraint in this position, you will use
only the lap part of the belt. Disconnect the shoulder
part of the belt and store it before securing child
restraint. See Center Rear Passenger Position
on page 1-40.
If you are using a top tether-equipped child restraint in
the center rear seat and need to temporarily transport
a flat tire for repair, move the child restraint to a
rear seat outboard position. See Securing a Child
Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position on page 1-65
for more on this, including important safety information.
