Close-up of typical Lower
LATCH symbol, found just
above the vehicle seat
crease where the LATCH
anchorage is located.

Only install the car seat with LATCH
anchors if using a vehicle seating location
that is recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer. For rear-center seating
positions that have a center-to-center
LATCH anchor spacing between 11 and 20
inches (280 mm and 500 mm) (See Figure
A), only use if recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer.

Installing with the LATCH Anchorage System
cont’d

Pay careful attention to the type of LATCH
anchors and vehicle seat belts that are
in your vehicle; some cargo anchors that
are unsafe to use with child restraints
look the same as LATCH anchors. Read
your vehicle owner’s manual for LATCH
anchorage locations.

The following diagram shows how to properly route the top tether when
installing the car seat forward-facing. The top tether should not be used when
installing the car seat rear-facing.

To Secure:

Remove the top tether from the rear access panel on the car seat. Route

it through the opening at the top of the panel and close the panel using the
black clip.
Determine the shortest path from the car seat to the anchorage and route

the tether along this path. This may involve raising the headrest so the
tether travels directly over the top of the seat.
Connect the top tether’s snap hook to the vehicle anchorage. You should

hear a CLICK when the connector locks onto the anchorage.
Check that the top tether is secured onto the anchorage by pulling up on it.

Tighten the top tether by pulling on the adjustment loop.

To Remove:

Release tension on the tether by pressing the grey adjustment button.

Unhook the tether’s snap hook from the vehicle anchorage and store the

tether in the rear access panel.
