LATCH is a new system for attaching the child restraint
system to your vehicle seat. It is to be used in place of your
vehicle’s seat belts, and can only be used in vehicles with
LATCH anchors.
Your vehicle owners manual may
refer to this system as ISOFIX.

• The carrier
MUST
be locked firmly into the base. Check
by lifting up on the carrier.
•
NEVER
use the Embrace carrier alone in the vehicle with-
out the convenience base.

vehicle to properly restrain your child.
• Serious injury or death could result if the carrier alone is
used in the vehicle.
•
NEVER
use this child restraint in the forward-facing posi-
tion.
