Some vehicle owner manuals use the
term

restraint anchor system. This child
restraint with

in vehicle seating positions equipped

ISOFIX

Newer vehicles may have one or
more seating positions equipped with
LATCH
anchor points.
If vehicle is equipped with
LATCH
, the
vehicle lower anchor points may be
visible at the vehicle seat crease. If not
visible, they may be marked with a
symbol
or a colored dot.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle
top tether anchor locations. They may
be identified using one of the anchor
symbols
.
