Lower Anchor Bars
For Use in

Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) is a universal system for installing child restraints without
using vehicle seat belts.
The lower anchor can ONLY be used in vehicles that have the
lower anchor bars installed in designated seating positions. Most
vehicles manufactured after September 2002 are equipped with
lower anchor bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
WARNINGS
Do not use both the lower anchor belt and vehicle belt at the
same time.
When used correctly the lower anchor belt or vehicle belts
are equally safe.
