WHAT IS LATCH?
LATCH is an acronym for
L
ower
A
nchors and
T
ethers for
CH
ildren and refers to a pair of fixed Lower Anchors (or bars)
and a Top Tether anchor that are built into your vehicle.
The lower LATCH anchors are located in the crease, or bight,
between the vehicle seat back and seat cushion, and if not
visible, will typically be indicated by symbols. Top tether
anchors are located in various places behind the seat.
LATCH can provide an easier and more consistent
installation. However, this Child Restraint can be safely
installed using either LATCH or vehicle belts. Either method
is safe for your child when installed correctly.
LATCH is standard in vehicles manufactured after
September 1, 2002. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual
for lower LATCH anchor and tether locations in your vehicle.
NEVER use the lower LATCH anchors together with the vehicle belts to
install this Child Restraint. Using both is not approved and may cause
serious injury or death to your child.
