This guide is designed to help you select and properly install a child safety seat compatible with your 2004-2009 Nissan Titan King Cab. To compile this list, our safety engineers fitted numerous Child Restraint Systems (CRS), including infant restraints, forward-facing child seats, booster seats and their combinations. If properly installed, the CRS noted below have proven to fit securely in the rear seating locations using either the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) System, where available, or the vehicle’s seat belt. When properly installed, the forward-facing and rear-facing seats noted below have proven to fit securely in the rear outboard seating locations. The booster seats noted below have proven to fit securely in all rear seating locations. Always refer to the instructions provided with the CRS and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual when installing. You may also find the accompanying General Installation Tips helpful.
General Installation Tips
When installing a Child Restraint System, always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and your Nissan vehicle’s owner’s manual. You may also find the following tips helpful for installing your CRS as tightly as possible.
1 Using a non-slip mat can help stabilize the CRS against the vehicle’s seat bottom and seatback, especially on a slick seating surface, such as leather. Kitchen cabinet liner material works quite well.
2 For rear-facing restraints, ‘pool noodles’ or rolled towels can help stabilize and help provide a proper installation angle for the infant restraint. Pool noodles are long, round pieces of foam that are used as water toys, which can be cut to a length of 10 – 12 inches and placed under the CRS for proper installation.
3 To install the child restraint tightly, it is easier if a second person helps you. While one person pushes down and into the seatback to compress the seat cushions, the second person should pull the seat belt tightly around the CRS to remove all slack.
4 Confirm that the belt is not twisted and the buckle is positioned correctly. A twisted belt or improperly facing buckle may inhibit proper tightening.
5 Be careful not to pinch the seat belt webbing when pushing down on the CRS. If the person pushing down on the seat is also pushing down on the webbing, the webbing cannot tighten around the CRS.
6 If the vehicle’s seatback is adjustable, as in some sport utility vehicles or vans, it can be advantageous to first install the CRS with the seatback somewhat reclined. Then, after securing the CRS, move the vehicle seatback upright. This will tighten the installation significantly.
