Attaching child safety seats with Lower Anchor and Tethers for
Children (LATCH) attachments
Some child safety seats are labeled as LATCH or LATCH-compatible child
seats. These seats include two rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two anchors at specific seating positions in your vehicle.
This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the
child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be
attached to the proper tether anchor point. For information on using
tether straps with the child safety seats, refer to
Attaching safety seats
with tether straps
in this chapter.
LATCH anchors for child seat
installation have been provided in
your vehicle at the following
locations:
The anchors at the center of the
rear seat are further apart than the
sets of lower anchors for child seat
installation at other seating
positions. A child seat with rigid
LATCH attachments cannot be
installed at this seating position. A
LATCH compatible child seat (with
attachments on belt webbing) can
be used at this seating position only
if the child seat instructions state
that the child seat can be installed
to anchors that are 400 mm apart. Do not attach a child seat to any
lower anchor if an adjacent child seat is attached to that anchor.
Do not attach a child seat to any lower anchors used for child
seat installation if an adjacent child seat is attached to that
anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two
child seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death.
