Toyota Venza: Installing child restraints

Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the rear seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint.

The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.

LATCH anchors are provided for the outboard rear seats.

(Buttons displaying the location of the anchors are attached to the seats.)

Seat belts equipped with a child restraint locking mechanism (ALR/ELR belts except driver’s seat belt)

Anchor bracket (for top tether strap)

Anchor brackets are provided for all rear seats.
