Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children or LATCH, is a system

available on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle

seat belt installation methods. See pages 14 and 15 for LATCH

components on this child seat.

The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and

tether anchors in a vehicle. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to

learn if it is equipped with LATCH, the maximum weight rating for

the lower anchors, and for information on the lower anchor locations

and seating positions available for use with this child seat.
Standard vehicle seat spacing between LATCH anchors is 11 inches

(27.9 cm). This child seat can be used in a seating position with up

to 20 inches (50.8 cm) of space between the LATCH anchors if the

vehicle manufacturer allows.
