with the LATCH System
LATCH is a system for attaching the child restraint
system to your vehicle seat. It is to be used in place of
your vehicle’s seat belts, and can only be used in vehicles
with LATCH anchors. Your vehicle owners manual may
refer to this system as ISOFIX or Universal Anchorage
System.
