Locating The LATCH Anchorages
The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion
where it meets the seatback, below the anchorage symbols on the seatback
.
They are just
visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint
.
You will easily feel
them if you run your finger along the gap between the seatback and seat cushion
.
Locating The Upper Tether Anchorages
There are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the
back of the seat
.
LATCH-compatible child restraint systems
will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flex-
ible strap on each side
.
Each will have a
hook or connector to attach to the lower
anchorage and a way to tighten the con-
nection to the anchorage
.
Forward-facing
child restraints and some rear-facing child
restraints will also be equipped with a
tether strap
.
The tether strap will have a
hook at the end to attach to the top
tether anchorage and a way to tighten the
strap after it is attached to the anchorage
.
