LATCH consists of lower anchor bars and a tether anchorage bar, which
are built-in to your vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to your
car seat. Lower anchors are used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to
secure the child seat to the vehicle. The tether is used IN ADDITION to the
lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing car
seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.
