What is LATCH?
LATCH is an acronym for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren and refers to
a pair of fixed lower anchors (or bars) and a top tether anchor that are built
into your vehicle.
The lower LATCH anchors are located in the crease, or bight, between
the vehicle seat back and seat cushion, and if not visible, will typically be
indicated by
symbols. Top tether anchors are located in various places
behind the seat but are NOT USED for the Aton 2 Infant Carrier or the Base.
Is it safer?
LATCH typically offers an easier and more consistent installation. However, this
child restraint can be safely installed using either LATCH or vehicle belts. Either
method is safe for your child when installed correctly.
LATCH is standard in vehicles manufactured after September 1, 2002. Refer
to your vehicle Owner’s Manual
for lower LATCH anchor positions in your
vehicle.
Outer Seating Positions
Use the lower LATCH anchors OR a vehicle seat belt to install the child
restraint in outboard seating positions (those on either side of the center
position).
WARNING!
DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY can occur
NEVER USE LATCH together with the vehicle belts to install this child
restraint. Using both is not approved and may cause improper performance
of the child restraint.
