Important Safety Information
LATCH
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) System is
designed to make installation of child safety seats easier by
requiring child restraints to be installed without using the vehicle’s seat
belt system. Since September 1, 2002, two rear seating positions of
all cars, mini vans and light trucks come equipped with lower child
restraint anchor points located between a vehicle’s seat cushion and
seat back. Also on September 1, 2002, all child restraints will have two
attachments which will connect to the vehicle’s lower anchor points.
Together, the lower anchors and upper tethers make up the LATCH
system. Read your vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations,
identification and requirements for use with a child restraint.
ONLY use LATCH to secure your child
restraint in a seating position recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer.
Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for
the vehicle’s top tether anchor locations.
They should be identified by one of
the symbols shown in Fig. 24-1.
IMPORTANT: With children weighing more
than 50 pounds (23 kg) use vehicle belt (NOT
LATCH) for installations. It is important to
note that some vehicle manufacturers have
lower weight rating for LATCH anchors.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual or
contact the vehicle manufacturer for limits
on your vehicle’s LATCH anchors.
store the seat in the trunk of your car with heavy objects
on it or with pressure on the Car Seat from the trunk lid.
• Discontinue use of the Harness System and Back Support after
6 years and the Booster Seat Base after 9 years from the date of
manufacture printed on the label on the bottom of the Seat Base.
• DO NOT use Car Seat if it has been in a crash, it must
be replaced. A crash can cause unseen damage and
using it again could result in serious injury or death.
• DO NOT use Car Seat if it is damaged or is missing parts.
No car seat can guarantee protection from injury in every situation,
but proper use helps reduce the risk of serious injury or death.
