After selecting a suitable child restraint for your child, check whether it fits properly in your vehicle. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing the child seat. Observe these general steps when installing the seat in your vehicle:
- Secure the child restraint properly in the vehicle. All child restraints must be secured to the vehicle using the lap portion of the lap/shoulder seat belt or the LATCH system.
- Make sure the child restraint is securely installed. After installing the child restraint, push and pull the seat forward and from side to side to make sure it is firmly attached to the vehicle seat. A child restraint secured with the seat belt must be installed as tightly as possible. However, some side-to-side movement can be expected.
- Secure the child in the child restraint. Make sure the child is properly restrained in the child restraint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
