O
INFINITI recommends that the child re-
straint be installed in the rear seat. Ac-
cording to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. If you
must install a front facing child restraint
in the front seat, see “Child restraint in-
stallation using the seat belts” in this
section.
O
Improper use or improper installation of
a child restraint can increase the risk or
severity of injury for both the child and
other occupants of the vehicle and can
lead to serious injury or death in an acci-
dent.
O
Follow all of the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions for installation and
use. When purchasing a child restraint,
be sure to select one which will fit your
child and vehicle. It may not be possible
to properly install some types of child re-
straints in your vehicle.
O
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being injured
in a collision or a sudden stop greatly in-
creases.
O
Child restraint anchor points are de-
signed to withstand only those loads im-
posed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts or harnesses.
O
Adjustable seatbacks should be posi-
tioned to fit the child restraint, but as
upright as possible.
O
After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the LATCH attachment or by the
seat belt path. Try to tug it forward and
check to see if the belt holds the re-
straint in place. The child restraint
should not move more than 1 in (25 mm).
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may
need to try a different child restraint. Not
all child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles.
O
When your child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH System
or a seat belt to prevent it from being
thrown around in case of a sudden stop
or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a child restraint left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check
the seating surface and buckles before plac-
ing your child in the child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal
child restraint lower anchor system, re-
ferred to as the Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren System or LATCH.
Some child restraints include two rigid or
webbing-mounted attachments that can
be connected to these lower anchors. For
details, see “Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren System (LATCH)” in this sec-
tion.
If you do not have a LATCH compatible
child restraint, the vehicle seat belts can
be used. See “Child restraint installed us-
ing the seat belts” later in this section. In
general, child restraints are also designed
to be installed with the lap portion of a
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Several manufacturers offer child re-
straints for infants and small children of
various sizes. When selecting any child
