Installing Child-Restraint

Systems

Accident statistics reveal that a child is

safer in the rear seat. The front passenger's

seat is clearly the worst choice for any

child under 12, and with rear-facing child-

restraint systems it is clearly unsafe due to

air bags.

Some child-restraint systems now come

with tethers and therefore must be

installed on the seats that take tethers to

be effective. In your Mazda, tethered

child-restraint systems can only be

accommodated in the two positions on the

rear seat.

Some child-restraint systems also employ

specially designed LATCH attachments;

refer to “LATCH Child-Restraint

Systems” (page 2-27).

WARNING

Tethered Child-Restraint Systems

Work Only on Tether-Equipped Rear

Seats:

Installation of a tether equipped child-

restraint system in the front

passenger's seat defeats the safety

design of the system and will result in

an increased chance of serious injury

if the child-restrai nt system goes

forward without benefit of being

tethered.

Place tether equipped child-restraint

systems where there are tether

anchors.

qRear Seat Child-Restraint System

Installation

Follow these instructions when using a

child-restraint system, unless you are

attaching a LATCH-equipped child-

restraint system to the rear LATCH lower

anchors. Refer to “LATCH Child-

Restraint Systems” (page 2-27).

NOTE

Follow the child-res traint system

manufacturer's instructions carefully. If

you are not sure whether you have a

LATCH system or tether, check in the

child-restraint system manufacturer's

instructions and follow them

accordingly. Depending on the type of

child-restraint system, it may not

employ seat belts which are in

automatic locking mode.

1. Secure the child-restraint system with

the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt.

See the manufacturer's instructions on

the child-restraint system for belt

routing instructions.

2. To get the retractor into the automatic

locking mode, pull the shoulder belt

portion of the seat belt until the entire

length of the belt is out of the retractor.
