In this owner's manual, explanation of

following three types of popular
child-restraint systems: infant seat, child
seat, booster seat.

Installation position is determined by
the type of child-restraint system.
Always read the manufacturer's
instructions and this owner's manual

child-restraint systems, vehicle seats
and seat belts, all child-restraint systems
may not fit all seating positions. Before
purchasing a child-restraint system, it
should be tested in the specific vehicle
seating position (or positions) where it
is intended to be used. If a previously
purchased child-restraint system does
not fit, you may need to purchase a
different one that will.
