• You have an infant or toddler, and you own a convertible car seat with a five-point harness that can be installed rear-facing.

  • Because your car was built after 2002, you can install the car seat using the LATCH system.

  • If possible, install the car seat in the center of the back seat, the safest point in case of crashes.

  • You can insert rolled towels to achieve the proper recline angel.

  • You’ll attach the rear facing seat with the two belted hooks to anchor bars located below the seat back, making sure the reclining level meets the manufacturer’s specifications.

  • Check that the anchor belts are securely attached to the anchor points.

  • Pull the tightening strap to ensure that the car seat doesn’t move more than an inch from side to side.
