Center Seat LATCH
Do not install a child restraint in the center position using the LATCH system. Use the seat
belt and tether anchor to install a child seat in the center seating position.
Vehicles With Center Arm Rest Tether
For rearward facing infant seats secured in the center seat position with the vehicle seat
belts, the rear center seat position has an armrest tether that secures the arm rest in the
upward position.
1. To access the center seat arm rest tether, first lower the arm rest. The tether is located
behind the armrest and hooked onto the plastic seat backing.
2. Pull down on the tether to unhook it
from the plastic seat backing.
3. Raise the armrest and attach the tether
hook to the strap located on the front of
the arm rest.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that
you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2. Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages in
the selected seating position.
3. If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage. See
below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
4.
Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child
seat at the belt path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
