Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children) attachments for child seat anchors

Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle.
This type of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach
the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also
be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats with
tether straps
in this chapter.

Your vehicle may be equipped with LATCH anchors for child seat
installation at the following seating positions:

• Bucket seats

• 60/40 seats

Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor.
In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two

child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or
death.

Connectors on the LATCH child seat
and the child seat instructions may
use the symbol shown here. Your
vehicle seat will have black buttons,
instead of this symbol, to indicate the location of the LATCH lower
anchors.
