Where is the anchor for a toddler car seat in 1996 dodge caravan?

In a 1996 Dodge Caravan, the anchor points for a toddler car seat (which I assume means a forward-facing car seat using a harness) are likely lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH). However, 1996 was before LATCH was mandatory. So, your Caravan *might* have them, but it's not guaranteed.

Here's how to find out:

1. Check the Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual should specifically show the location of the LATCH anchors if equipped, or instruct you on how to use the seatbelts.

2. Look Between the Seat Cushions: If your Caravan has LATCH, the anchors are usually located between the seatback and the seat cushion, near the bottom of the seat. They might be metal loops or plastic clips.

3. Examine the Seatbelts: If you don't find LATCH anchors, you'll need to use the vehicle's seatbelts to secure the car seat. This is perfectly safe and was the standard method before LATCH became common.

4. Consult a Car Seat Technician: If you're unsure after checking the manual and the vehicle, contacting a certified child passenger safety technician is the best option. They can inspect your vehicle and help you correctly install the car seat. You can often find them through local hospitals, fire departments, or police stations.

Important Safety Note: Ensure the car seat is properly installed according to its manufacturer's instructions and the vehicle's owner's manual. Improper installation can severely compromise the safety of your child in a car accident.
