Vehicle Child Restraint Anchorage System (LATCH)
• LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children. These terms refer to the anchors built into a
vehicle for attaching child restraints and consists of two
lower anchors at the crease between the vehicle seat
back and vehicle seat cushion and a top tether anchor
behind the vehicle seat. The Clek booster seat has been
designed to attach securely to only the vehicle’s LATCH
lower anchors.
• 2003 model year vehicles or newer have at least two
seating locations with a LATCH Anchorage System.
Some 2001 and 2002 model year vehicles have LATCH
Anchorage Systems. 2000 model year vehicles or older
DO NOT have LATCH Anchorage Systems. See your
vehicle owner’s manual or visit www.magnaclek.com if
you are unsure if your vehicle is equipped with a LATCH
Anchorage System.
• The LATCH lower anchors are located in the crease
between the vehicle seat back and vehicle seat cushion,
as shown in
Figure 4
.
• If not readily visible, the LATCH lower anchors may be
noted by a symbol located near the crease between the
vehicle seat back and vehicle seat cushion, as shown in
