Honda CR-V: Safety of Infants and Small Children / Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
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.
- Locate the lower anchors under the marks.

- Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then attach the child seat to the
lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with the child seat.
- When installing the child seat, make sure that the lower anchors are not
obstructed by the seat belt or any other object.


- Outer position. Put the head restraint to
its upper-most position, then route the tether strap between the head restraint
legs, and secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.

- Go to step 9.
- Center position. Put the head restraint to
its upper-most position.

WARNING
Never attach two child seats to the same anchor. In a collision, one
anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child seat attachments and may break,
causing serious injury or death.
For your child’s safety, when using a child seat installed using the LATCH
system, make sure that the child seat is properly secured to the vehicle. 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.
- Open the anchor cover.
- Route the tether strap through the head restraint legs.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.

- Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.
- All models. Tighten the tether strap as instructed
by the child seat manufacturer.
- Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it
forward and back and side to side; little movement should be felt.
- 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.
