Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly install a

child seat with LATCH attachments.

Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the

anchors shown.

If you install a child seat with rigid LATCH attachments, do not tighten

the tether strap enough to lift the child seat off the vehicle seat cushion

when the child is seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug without

lifting the front of the child seat. Keeping the child seat just touching the

vehicle seat gives the best protection in a severe crash. Adjusting the

seat back angle may allow the tether strap to be tight without lifting the

child seat.

Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly

attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor. Try to tilt the child

seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if

the anchors hold the seat in place.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child

being injured in a crash greatly increases.
