LATCH typically offers an easier and more
consistent installation. However, this child restraint
can be safely installed using either LATCH or vehicle
belts and meets the requirements of Federal Safety
Standard FMVSS 213 with either installation method.
Either method is safe for your child when installed
correctly. When using either method, it is best
practice to ALWAYS USE tether when installing in
the forward-facing position.
DO NOT install this child restraint with LATCH and
the vehicle’s seat belts at the same time. Your vehicle
owner’s manual may refer to this system as ISOFIX,
Universal Anchorage System (UAS), or Lower
Universal Anchorage System.
The LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY
as described in these instructions. Serious injury or
death may result from misuse. Refer to your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for lower anchor bar positions in
your vehicle.
LATCH/UAS Warnings
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow
your vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation
of the child restraint and LATCH. If there is a
discrepancy, follow your vehicle owner’s manual.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to vehicle
lower anchor bars.
• NEVER attach two lower anchor connectors to one
vehicle lower anchor bar.
• NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the
lower anchor connector assembly. Using both
together can cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.
• When not in use, the lower anchor connector
assembly should be securely stored on child
restraint. Keep out of reach of children.
• ALWAYS be sure that the lower anchor connectors
are attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by
pulling hard on the lower anchor connectors. If
they are not attached, the lower anchor connector
assembly will not secure your child restraint.
Serious injury or death may result.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more
than
2.5 cm (1 in) side to side or front to back at the belt
path on the child restraint. Serious injury or death
may result from poor installation. If you cannot
tightly secure the child restraint, try again or move
it to another location.
