LATCH is a system for attaching the child restraint to
your vehicle seat. It is to be used in place of your vehicle’s
seat belts, and can be used in vehicles with LATCH
anchors. Your vehicle owner’s manual may refer to
this system as ISOFIX.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to lower LATCH
anchor points.
•
ALWAYS read and follow exactly the instructions
which accompany your vehicle and child restraint.
• NEVER attach two hooks to one vehicle lower
anchor point.
• DO NOT use the vehicle seat belts to install a child
restraint when using the LATCH system.
• This LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as
described in these instructions. Serious injury or
death may result from misuse.
• To avoid strangulation, you must store the unused
LATCH harness, with all slack removed, in the storage
area on the back of the seat. Roll or fold the excess
LATCH strap and secure with a rubber band to prevent
serious injury to vehicle occupants.
• ALWAYS be sure that the LATCH hook is fully
engaged onto the LATCH anchor point by pulling hard
on the LATCH harness. If it is not totally engaged, the
LATCH system will not secure your child restraint.
Serious injury or death may result.
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of child
restraints and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy, follow
your vehicle owner’s manual.
WARNING
Installing the Child
Restraint Rear-facing with LATCH
The child restraint MUST be in the
Recline
position for
rear-facing infant use. Child MUST weigh 5 – 35 lbs
(2.3 – 15.8 kg).
If the level arrow is not parallel to the vehicle floor,
use a tightly rolled towel or small blanket B beneath
the front edge of the child restraint.
You need to provide enough recline for an infant’s
head to lie back comfortably.
Rear-facing Recline
B
A
Lift the child restraint and
flip the recline stand A
toward the front, as
shown, to the Recline
position.
Positioning the Recline Stand for
Rear-facing Use
IMPORTANT: Infants may have difficulty breathing
when in a sitting position. Make sure they recline enough
for their head to lie back comfortably and safely. Failure
to properly recline the child restraint could increase the
child’s risk of serious injury or death.
