9-C What is LATCH?
This car seat can be installed using your vehicle’s LATCH system, if your vehicle is
equipped with LATCH. All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have a
LATCH system, although some manufacturers began including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle
owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the LATCH system.
LATCH consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors, 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. Top tethers are used IN
ADDITION to the lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing car
seat to the vehicle.
