Seats and Restraints 3-47
Be sure to use an anchor on the
same side of the vehicle as the
seating position where the child
restraint will be placed.
Third Row
The third row has one top tether
anchor at the bottom rear of the
center seatback. This anchor should
be used for the center seating
position only. Never install two top
tethers using the same top tether
anchor.
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor
if a national or local law requires
that the top tether be attached, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top tether
must be attached.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child
restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating
position. See Where to Put the
Restraint on page 3-42 for
additional information.

Do not attach more than one child
restraint to a single anchor.
Attaching more than one child
restraint to a single anchor could

to come loose or even break
during a crash. A child or others
could be injured. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injuries
during a crash, attach only one
child restraint per anchor.
