When using a seat belt to secure a non-LATCH child restraint, make sure the seat belt’s locking mechanism is used.
LATCH child restraints
Always attach the top tether when fitting the LATCH seat.
Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child seat. Always give the LATCH seat a final pull, to make sure that the lower anchors are secure.
Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust the harnesses for every child, every trip.
Make sure that a child falls into the correct weight range for the seat as recommended by the seat manufacturer.
Avoid dressing a child in bulky clothing. Do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
Regularly check the fit of a child seat. Replace child seats and harnesses that show signs of wear.
No child seat is completely child-proof. Do not let children play with the buckle or harness.
