LATCH: Lower Anchor Bars
For Use in Rear-Facing Mode
or Forward-Facing Mode
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) is a universal system for installing car seats without using
vehicle seat belts.
The LATCH: lower anchor belt can only be used in vehicles that have
the lower anchor bars installed in designated seating positions. Most
vehicles manufactured after September 2002 are equipped with
LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Do not use both the lower anchor belt and vehicle belt
at the same time. When used correctly the lower anchor
belt or the vehicle belts are equally safe.
