Because the lower anchorages are to be introd uced to
passenger carrying vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint system s having attachm ents for those anchor-
ages will continu e to have featu res for installation in
vehicles using the lap or lap/ shou lder belt. They will also
have tether strap s, and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachm ents provid ed with you r
child restraint in any vehicle.
rearw ard -facing infant restraints will also be equ ipped
with a tether strap , a hook and means for adjusting the
tension in the strap .
In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower
strap s and tether strap s so that you can more easily attach
the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether
anchorages. Then tighten all three strap s as you push the
child restraint rearw ard and downw ard into the seat.
NOTE: When using the LATCH attaching system to
install a child restraint, please ensu re that all seat belts
not being used for occupant restraints are stow ed and out
of reach of child ren. It is recom mend ed that before
installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, rou te the seat belt throu gh the
child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This shou ld
stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inqu isitive child .
Child restraint system s having attachm ents designed to
connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child
restraints having tether strap s and hooks for connection
to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for
som e time. In fact, many child restraint manu factu rer’s
will provid e add-on tether strap kits for som e of their
older prod ucts.
