Access to the rear seat is important. It is much easier to install a child safety seat and put your child in it correctly if your car has rear doors. Take your child s safety seat with you when you look at cars. Not all safety seats are compatible with all cars. Make sure there is enough space between seats to hold rear-facing child restraints and that the safety belts are compatible with the seat and seat belts.
Bench seats are easiest for installing child safety seats.
Many safety seats are unstable on contoured bucket seats or the humps between them. Belts should lock to hold the child restraint tightly in place and hold the child restraint against the seat back. If they don't, you ll need a locking clip to hold it. Always check the vehicle and safety seat owner s manual and directions for special information. Please read it.
