Securing
a
Child Restraint in
a
Rear
Seat Position
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 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.
1.
Put the restraint
on
the seat.
2.
Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you
how.
3.
Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button
is
positioned so you would be able
to
unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if
you ever had to.
If the shoulder belt goes in front
of
the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
