Honda CR-V: Safety of Infants and Small Children / Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt

Honda CR-V 2017-2025 Owner's Manual / Safe Driving / Child Safety / 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.
