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 LATCH:
lower anchor bars installed in designated seating posi-
tions. Most vehicles manufactured after September 2002
are equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars. Review 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 LATCH: lower anchor belt or the
vehicle belts are equally safe.
