Choosing LATCH or Vehicle Belts
26
The LATCH
System
LATCH (Lower
Anchors and
Tethers for
CHildren) is a
universal system
for installing child
restraints without
using vehicle
seat belts. The LATCH system can ONLY
be used in vehicles that have the LATCH
anchor bars installed and designated
LATCH seating positions. Most vehicles
manufactured after September 2002 are
equipped with LATCH. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual to see which seating
positions may be equipped with the
LATCH system.
When installing this child restraint
with vehicle belts, the LATCH hooks
and belt MUST be properly stored.
To store LATCH on this child
restraint:
When used rear facing,
thread LATCH belt through forward-
facing belt path.
When used forward
facing,
thread LATCH belt through rear-
facing belt path. Then attach hooks to
attachments near rear-facing belt path
as shown. Gently pull free end of belt to
remove slack.

If LATCH is not an option, you must use the vehicle
seat belt system to install the child restraint.
There are some vehicle belts that will not work with a
child restraint or will require special attention.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual for specific
instructions.
