through the belt path of the child
restraint. Do not twist the belt webbing in
the belt path.
3. Slide the latch plate into the buckle until
you hear a “click.”
4. Finally, pull up on any excess webbing to
tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint while you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the
vehicle seat.
5. If the child restraint has a top tether
strap and the seating position has a top
tether anchorage, connect the tether
strap to the anchorage and tighten the
tether strap. See the section “Installing
Child Restraints Using the Top Tether
Anchorage” for directions to attach a
tether anchor.
6. 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.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight
if necessary.
If the buckle or the cinching latch plate is
too close to the belt path opening of the child
restraint, you may have trouble tightening
the seat belt. If this happens, disconnect the
latch plate from the buckle and twist the
short buckle-end belt up to three full turns to
shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle with the release button facing out,
away from the child restraint. Repeat steps 4
to 6, above, to complete the installation of
the child restraint.
If the belt still cannot be tightened after you
shorten the buckle, disconnect the latch
plate from the buckle, turn the buckle
around one half turn, and insert the latch
plate into the buckle again. If you still cannot
make the child restraint installation tight, try
a different seating position.
Installing Child Restraints Using The Top
Tether Anchorage
WARNING!
Do not attach a tether strap for a
rear-facing car seat to any location in front
of the car seat, including the seat frame or
a tether anchorage. Only attach the tether
strap of a rear-facing car seat to the tether
anchorage that is approved for that seating
position, located behind the top of the
vehicle seat. See the section “Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
Restraint System” for the location of
approved tether anchorages in your
vehicle.
