Options For Securing A Car Seat:
This car seat can be secured to a vehicle using the LATCH System
or a vehicle seat belt.
1. LATCH System:
LATCH
stands for
L
ower
A
nchors and
T
ethers
for
CH
ildren.
Model year 2003 and newer vehicles are
equipped with LATCH Anchorage Systems.
Check vehicle owner’s manual to determine
if your vehicle has the LATCH Anchorage
System. Look for LATCH system symbol
(fig. a)
or the LATCH Lower Anchor symbol (
fig. b)
.
Some vehicle owner’s manuals may identify the
LATCH System as “ISOFIX”. An ISOFIX System
can be used in the same way as the LATCH System.
If your vehicle has the LATCH System, the LATCH
System including top tether should be used whenever
possible.
2. Vehicle Seat Belt and Top Tether Strap:
If your vehicle does not have the LATCH System, the
car seat MUST be secured to the vehicle using a vehicle
seat belt and top tether strap as required.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for seating locations recommended
for car seat use and location of top tether anchorages.
NOTE:
Tether strap should always be
used when a tether anchor is
available.
Tether strap use is recommended for rear-facing when possible.
