Safe DrivingMost child seats are LATCH-compatible (L ower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). 
Some have a rigid-type connector, while ot hers have a flexible-type connector. Both 
are equally easy to use. Some existing and  previously owned child seats can only be 
installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child seat 
manufacturer’s use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this manual. 
Proper installation is key to ma ximizing your child’s safety. 
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH compatible 
child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. 
This is because all child seats are required to  be designed so that they can be secured 
with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In  addition, the child seat manufacturer may 
advise that a seat belt be used to atta ch a LATCH-compatible seat once a child 
reaches a specified weight. Please read th e child seat owner’s manual for proper 
installation instructions.
■Important consideration wh en selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets th e following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct  type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct  type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or 
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
■Selecting a Child Seat1Selecting a Child Seat
Installation of a LATCH-co mpatible child seat is 
simple.
LATCH-compatible child s eats have been developed 
to simplify the installati on process and reduce the 
likelihood of injuries caused  by incorrect installation.
