27 Choosing an Installation Method: Overview
Never attach two LATCH connectors to one LATCH anchorage
in a vehicle, unless recommended by the vehicle owner’s
manual for your vehicle.
If the LATCH belt does not remain tight or the car seat base
can move more than 1 in (2.5 cm) in any direction, do not use
this seating location. Your child could be seriously injured in a
sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash.
Never use both the lower LATCH system and the vehicle seat
belt system at the same time to secure the car seat base or
Toddler Car Seat.
⚠WARNING⚠
Death or Serious Injury Can Occur
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual regarding requirements for using
the vehicle’s LATCH anchorages with the car seat, or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for guidance.
The LATCH anchorage system makes car seat installation in a vehicle easier, and
does not use vehicle seat belts. LATCH stands for
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children.
All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have built-in LATCH an-
chorage systems. Some manufacturers began including LATCH with their 2000
model year vehicles.
For convertible car seat installations, the applicable parts of the vehicle LATCH
system are:
1. the two lower anchorages (horizontal bars) located in the vehicle seat bight
between the seat back and the seat cushion. These anchorages
are typically indicated by the symbol to the right or the
word, ISOFIX.
2. the top tether anchorage (horizontal bar) located either on the shelf behind
the rear seat, on the back side of the rear seat, on the floor of the cargo area or
on the ceiling behind the rear seat. These anchorages are typically
indicated by the symbol to the right.
Your car seat base can be installed with either LATCH or a vehicle seat belt. Your car
seat can be installed without the car seat base using either LATCH or a vehicle seat belt.
