Combining safety belt and LATCH lower anchors for attaching

child safety seats

When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower

anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved.

Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat. Refer

to Recommendations for attaching child safety restraints for children

in this chapter.

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which

extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring

point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an

accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your

child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a

longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach

the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.

The rear seating positions of your vehicle are equipped with built-in

tether strap anchors located behind the seats on the roof panel in the

cargo area.

The tether strap anchors in your

vehicle are in the following positions

(shown from top view):

Attach the tether strap only to the appropriate tether anchor as shown.

The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhere other

than the correct tether anchor.

Once the child safety seat has been installed, using either the safety belt

or the lower anchors of the LATCH system, you can attach the top tether

strap.

Perform the following steps to install a child safety seat with tether

anchors:

1. Route the child safety seat tether strap over the back of the seat.

For vehicles with adjustable head restraints, remove the head restraint

first, place under the front seat for storage, and then route the tether

strap over the top of the seatback.
