Lower anchorages secure the child restrain t in
the seat without us ing the vehicle 's safety
belts . Anchorages provide a secure and easy-
to-use attachment and minimize the possibi li-
ty of improper child restra int installat ion.
All child restraints manufactured after Sep -
tember 1, 2002, must have lower anchorage
attachments for the
LATCH system.
Remember that the lower anchorage poin t s
are o nly intended for installation and attach -
ment of child restraints specifically cer t ified
for use with
LATCH lower anchorages . Child
rest raint s that are not equ ipped with the low-
er anchorage attachme nts can still be insta l-
led in compliance with the child rest raint
manufacturer's instructions on using vehicle
safety belts .
_& WARNING
Improper use of LATCH lower anchorages
can cause serious persona l injury in an ac-
cident.
- Always carefully follow the child re-
straints manufacture r's instructions for
proper insta llation of the child restraint
