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 symbol. 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.
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.
WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY can occur.
LATCH/UAS Warnings
WARNING! DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY can occur.
• 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
50 lbs. (22.6 kg) with the internal harnesses of the
child restraint.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the
child restraint and LATCH . If there is a discrepancy,
follow your vehicle owner’s manual.
• 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
2.5 cm (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.
