What Seating Location Should I Use?
Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the
LATCH system. Both are equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 8 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to
install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH: The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your safety seat in your car
without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. 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.
According to accident statistics, the safest
place for your child in any vehicle is the back
seat. The center of the back seat can be the
safest during a possible side impact.
The best seating location for this car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be installed, so
be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available seating positions, if any.
Review section 8-B, 8-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.
