Honda CR-V: Safety of Infants and Small Children / Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or,
if absolutely
necessary, the front passenger seat.
- Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
- Route the seat belt through the child seat according to the seat
manufacturer’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle.
- Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.

- Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it
stops. This activates the lockable retractor.
- Let the seat belt if it is completely retracted it unlocks wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the retractor is locked.
- If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is
not activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4.

A child seat that is not properly secured will not adequately protect a child
in a crash and may cause injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.
- Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to
remove any slack from the lap part of the belt.
- When doing this, place your weight on the child seat and push it into
the vehicle seat.

- Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back
and side to side; less than one inch of movement should occur near the seat
belt.
- Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the
lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully
retracted and locked.

To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat
belt to wind up all the way.
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in any rear seats. A child
seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or flexible type of
connectors...
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position.
If you have a child seat that comes with a tether but can be installed with a
seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security...
Other information:
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
Check that the latch plates and buckles work smoothly and the belts
retract
easily.
If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the
problem...
