Lower Anchors And Tethers For CHildren

anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for
Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren

There
are two lower anchorages located at the back of
the seat cushion where it meets the seatback and
one top tether anchorage located behind the

Some seating positions

anchorages

belt must be used with the top tether anchorage
to install the child restraint
