LATCH: Lower Anchor Bars
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of
LATCH
(
L
ower
A
nchors and
T
ethers for
CH
ildren) is a universal system for installing car seats without using
vehicle seat belts.
The LATCH: lower anchor belt 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
LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Do not use both the lower anchor belt and vehicle belt
at the same time. When used correctly the lower anchor
belt or the vehicle belts are equally safe.
LATCH: Lower Anchor Use
Failure to fasten and tighten the harness system correctly
may allow the child to be ejected from the child restraint in
a crash or sudden stop causing serious injury or death.
Do not mistake comfort for safety.
The harness system must be snugly
adjusted.
Do not put snowsuits or bulky garments
on your child when placing them in the
child restraint. Bulky clothing can prevent
the harness straps from being tightened
properly.
Finished!
Your child is now secured in the
car seat.
Check your child’s fit often and
make any needed adjustments to
the car seat as they grow.
