This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the
child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be
attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats with
tether straps in this chapter.
Your vehicle may be equipped with LATCH anchors for child seat
installation at the seating positions with tan or gray locator buttons.
• Bucket seats
• 60/40 seats
Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor.
In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two
child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or
death.
Connectors on the LATCH child seat
and the child seat instructions may
use the symbol shown here. Your
vehicle seat will have plain gray or
tan buttons, instead of this symbol, to indicate the location of the LATCH
lower anchors.
