FOLLOWING VEHICLE BELTS:
• A lap belt with a motorized shoulder belt
• Vehicle belts that are attached to the door in any way, or that move

• Lap belts with an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
These lap belts stay loose and can move until locking in a crash or
sudden stop.

WHAT IS LATCH?
LATCH is an acronym for Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren and refers to a pair of xed 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.
LATCH can provide 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 and tether locations in your vehicle.
NEVER use the lower LATCH anchors together with the vehicle belts to
install this Child Restraint. Using both is not approved and may cause
serious injury or death to your child.
