How to Install a Child Seat in a 1999 Toyota Tacoma

Driving safety laws require that all children under a certain weight or age must wear a child safety seat. The Tacoma is capable of carrying a child car seat; however, to do so users will have to fold the front-side passenger chair to make room for a child seat. Because each state sets its child safety seat laws, it is best to check your state's law requirements before installing and driving children.

• 1

  Use the fold lever located on the bottom-right side of the passenger seat. Pull upward to move the seat forward. Then push downward on the chair to fold.

• 2

  Insert the child seat. Position the seat according to your state's safety regulations.

• 3

  Secure the child seat, using the child seat brackets or safety latches located at the top of the Tacoma's seat. Use the child seat's safety belt to hook and secure the seat onto the Tacoma's safety latches.

• 4

  Buckle the seat, using the car seat belt. Insert the seat belt through the belt holes.
