After selecting a proper child seat

and a good place to install the seat,

there are three main steps in

installing the seat:

1.

Properly secure the child seat to

the vehicle .

All child seats must be

secured to the vehicle with the lap

part of a lap/shoulder belt or with

the LATCH (Lower Anchors and

Tethers for CHildren) system. A

child whose seat is not properly

secured to the vehicle can be

endangered in a crash.

2.

Make sure the child seat is firmly

secured.

After installing a child

seat, push and pull the seat

forward and from side-to-side to

verify that it is secure.

A child seat secured with a seat belt

should be installed as firmly as

possible. However, it does not need

to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Some side-to-side

movement can be expected and

should not reduce the child seat's

effectiveness.

If the child seat is not secure, try

installing it in a different seating

position, or use a different style of

child seat that can be firmly secured.

3.

Secure the child in the child seat.

Make sure the child is properly

strapped in the child seat

according to the child seat maker's

instructions. A child who is not

properly secured in a child seat

can be seriously injured in a crash.

The following pages provide

guidelines on how to properly install

a child seat. A forward-facing child

seat is used in all examples, but the

instructions are the same for rear-

facing child seats.
