SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

A booster seat (C–D) is a child restraint
designed to improve the fit of the vehicle’s
safety belt system. A booster seat can also
help a child to see out the window.
Securing an Add-On Child Restraint
in the Vehicle
To help reduce the chance of injury, the
child restraint must be secured in the vehi-
cle. Child restraint systems must be
secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the
lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt, or by
the LATCH system. Refer to “Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)”
in this section for more information. A child
can be endangered in a crash if the child
restraint is not properly secured in the
vehicle.
When securing an add-on child restraint,
refer to the instructions that come with the
restraint which may be on the restraint
itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this
manual. The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not available,
obtain a replacement copy from the manu-
facturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehi-
cle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle – even when no
child is in it.
Securing the Child Within the Child
Restraint
Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are
safer if they are restrained in the rear
rather than the front seat.
We recommend that child restraints be
secured in a rear seat, including: an infant
or a child riding in a rear-facing child
restraint; a child riding in a forward-facing
child seat; an older child riding in a booster
seat; and children, who are large enough,
using safety belts.
A label on your sun visor says, “Never put
a rear-facing child seat in the front.” This is
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if the child restraint
is not properly secured in the vehicle.
Make sure the child restraint is prop-
erly installed in the vehicle using the
vehicle’s safety belt or LATCH sys-
tem, following the instructions that
came with that restraint, and also the
instructions in this manual.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if the child is not
properly secured in the child
restraint. Because there are different
systems, it is important to refer to the
instructions that come with the
restraint. Make sure the child is prop-
erly secured, following the instruc-
tions that came with that restraint.
