seats NISSAN FRONTIER 2023 Owner's Guide

–Do not put a seat belt around both
a child and another passenger.
– NISSAN recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children
are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front seat, see “Forward-
facing child restraint installation
using the seat belts - front pas-
senger and rear bench seat (Crew
Cab models)” (P. 1-54) or “Forward-
facing child restraint installation
using the seat belts - front pas-
senger and jump seats (King Cab®
models) (P. 1-59).
– Even with the NISSAN Advanced
Air Bag System, never install a
rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat. An inflating air bag
could seriously injure or kill a child.
A rear-facing child restraint must
only be used in the rear seat.
– Be sure to purchase a child re-
straint that will fit the child and
vehicle. Some child restraints may
not fit properly in your vehicle. –Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used to at-
tach adult seat belts, or other items
or equipment to the vehicle. Doing
so could damage the child restraint
anchorages. The child restraint will
not be properly installed using the
damaged anchorage, and a child
could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.
–
Never use the anchor points for
adult seat belts, or other items.
– A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat (King Cab®
models).
–
Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-
sible af ter fitting the child restraint.
– Infants and children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate
child restraint while in the vehicle.
• When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH sys-
tem or a seat belt. In a sudden stop
or collision, loose objects can injure
occupants or damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing a
child in the child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal
child restraint anchor system, referred to
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system. Some child restraints
include rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to these
anchors. For additional information, see
“LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) system” (P. 1-28).
If you do not have a LATCH compatible
child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be
used.
Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system1-27

Several manufacturers offer child re-
straints for infants and children of various
sizes. When selecting any child restraint,
keep the following points in mind:
• Choose only a restraint with a label certi-f ying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
• Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's
seat and seat belt system.
• If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child
restraint and check the various adjust-
ments to be sure the child restraint is
compatible with your child. Choose a
child restraint that is designed for your
child's height and weight. Always follow
all recommended procedures.
• If the combined weight of the child and child restraint is less than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg),
you may use either the LATCH anchors or
the seat belt to install the child restraint
(not both at the same time).
•
If the combined weight of the child and
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the
lower anchors) to install the child restraint.
•Be sure to follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or
territories require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved
child restraint at all times while the ve-
hicle is being operated. Canadian law re-
quires the top tether strap on forward-
facing child restraints be secured to the
designated anchor point on the vehicle.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with special an-
chor points that are used with LATCH sys-
tem compatible child restraints. This sys-
tem may also be referred to as the ISOFIX
or ISOFIX compatible system. With this sys-
tem, you do not have to use a vehicle seat
belt to secure the child restraint unless the
combined weight of the child and child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs., (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and child restraint

is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5 kg) use the vehi-
cle’s seat belt (not the lower anchors) to
install the child restraint. Be sure to follow
the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for installation.
The LATCH lower anchor points are provided
to install child restraints in the rear outboard
seating positions only. Do not attempt to
install a child restraint in the center position
using the LATCH lower anchors.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or
other passengers in a sudden stop or
collision:
– Attach LATCH system compatible
child restraints only at the locations
shown in the illustration.
–
Do not secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position using the
LATCH lower anchors. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly.
– Inspect the lower anchors by insert-
ing your fingers into the lower an-
chor area. Feel to make sure there
are no obstructions over the an-
chors such as seat belt webbing or
seat cushion material. The child re-
straint will not be secured properly if
the lower anchors are obstructed. Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to
the vehicle. Doing so could damage the
child restraint anchorages. The child
restraint will not be properly installed
using the damaged anchorage, and a
child could be seriously injured or killed
in a collision.

ments that can be connected to two an-
chors located at certain seating positions
in your vehicle. With this system, you do not
have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the
child restraint. Check your child restraint for
a label stating that it is compatible with
LATCH. This information may also be in the
instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer.

WARNING
• Do not allow cargo to contact the top
tether strap when it is attached to the
top tether anchor. Properly secure the
cargo so it does not contact the top
tether strap. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the top
tether strap may damage it during a
collision. A child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision if the top
tether strap is damaged.
•Child restraint anchorages are de-
signed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child re-
straints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used to attach adult seat
belts, or other items or equipment to

safety” (P. 1-23) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-26)
for all Warnings and Cautions before in-
stalling a child restraint.
Do not use the lower anchors if the com-
bined weight of the child and the child re-
straint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg). If the com-
bined weight of the child and the child
restraint is greater than 65 lbs., (29.5 kg) use
the vehicle's seat belt (not the lower an-
chors) to install the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seats using the
LATCH system:
1. Position the child restraint on the seat. Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions. 2. Secure the child restraint anchor at-
tachments to the LATCH lower anchors.

3. For child restraints that are equippedwith webbing-mounted attachments,
remove any additional slack from the
anchor attachments. Press downward
and rearward firmly in the center of the
child restraint with your hand to com-
press the vehicle seat cushion and seat-
back while tightening the webbing of
the anchor attachments. 4.Af ter attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it from
side to side while holding the child re-
straint near the LATCH attachment path.
The child restraint should not move more
than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to side. Try
to tug it forward and check to see if the
LATCH attachment holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten
the LATCH attachment as necessary, or
put the restraint in another seat and test it
again. You may need to try a different child
restraint or try installing by using the ve-
hicle seat belt (if applicable). Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.

WARNING
• To install a rear-facing child restraint
on the passenger's side jump seat, it
will be necessary to move the front
passenger's seat fully forward and
place the front seatback upright or
tilt it forward. Failure to do so may
cause the child restraint to not be in-
stalled properly and cause serious
injury or death in a sudden stop or
collision. –
The front seat cannot be used
when a rear-facing child restraint
is installed on the jump seat. At-
tempting to do so could cause se-
rious injury in a sudden stop or
collision.For additional information, see “Child safety”
(P. 1-23) and “Child restraints” (P. 1-26) for all
Warnings and Cautions before installing a
