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, in vehicles built after
September 1, 2002.
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 rear vehicle seat.
Center installation in a non-standard LATCH position:
Center installation of this child restraint is permitted
using inner Lower Anchor Bars from the outside
seating positions if (1) your vehicle manual allows such
installation; and (2) the inner Lower Anchor Bars from
the outside seating positions are 28-51 cm (11-20 in.)
apart.
Is it safer?
LATCH
typically offers an easier and more consistent
installation. However, this child restraint can be safely
installed using either LATCH or vehicle belts and meets
the requirements of Federal Safety Standard FMVSS
213 with either installation method. Either method is
safe for your child when installed correctly. When using
either method, it is best practice to ALWAYS use tether
when installing in the forward-facing position.
DO NOT install this child restraint with LATCH and
the vehicle’s seat belts at the same time. Your vehicle
owner’s manual may refer to this system as ISOFIX,
Universal Anchorage System (UAS), or Lower Universal
Anchorage System.
The LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as
described in these instructions. Serious injury or death
may result from misuse. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for lower anchor bar positions in your vehicle.

LATCH/UAS Warnings
WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY can occur.
To help prevent serious injury or death:
• DO NOT use the lower anchors of the child restraint
anchorage system (
LATCH
system) to attach this child
restraint when restraining a child weighing more than
18 kg (50 lbs) with the internal harnesses of the child
restraint. ONLY USE VEHICLE BELT INSTALLATION.
•
ONLY
use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower
anchor bars.
• NEVER attach two lower anchor connectors to one
vehicle lower anchor bar.
•
NEVER
use the vehicle seat belts when using the
lower anchor connector assembly. Using both together
can cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.
• To avoid strangulation, you must store the unused
LATCH straps, with all slack removed, in the storage
areas on the sides of your seat. Roll or fold the excess
LATCH
strap and secure with a rubber band to prevent
serious injury to vehicle occupants.
• ALWAYS be sure that the lower anchor connectors are
attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by pulling
hard on the lower anchor connectors. If they are not
attached, the lower anchor connector assembly will not
secure your child restraint. Serious injury or death may
result.
•
DO NOT
use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at either
the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the
child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from
poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
