Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or

not have dedicated LATCH lower anchorages,
use the seat belt to install a child seat in the
center position next to a child seat using the
LATCH anchorages in an outboard position.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the
back of the front passenger seat?
Yes
The child seat may touch the back of the front
passenger seat if the child restraint manufac-
turer also allows contact. See your child re-
straint owner’s manual for more information.

Yes — 7 Passenger

center position may be removed.

position may be removed in the second row.
Locating The 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 be-
tween the seatback and seat cushion.
