Lower anchorages secure the child res t rain t in
the seat without using the vehicle's safety
belts . Ancho rages provide a secure and easy-
to-use attachment and minimize the possibili-
ty of imp roper child restra int installa t ion.
All child restraints manufactured after Sep -
tember 1, 2002 , must have lower anchorage
attachments for the
LATCH system.
Remember that the lower anchorage po ints
are o nly intended for installation and attach -
ment of child restraints specifically certified
for use with
LATCH lower anchorages. Child
rest raints that are not equipped wit h the low-
er anchorage attachments can still be insta l-
led in compliance with the child restraint
manufacturer 's instructions on us ing vehicle
safety belts .
Ln._ WARNING
-
Improper use of LATCH lower anchorages
can cause serious personal injury in an ac-
cident.
