LATCH consists of lower anchor bars and tether anchors, which are built-in to your vehicle, and lower
anchor connectors that are built-in to your car seat. The lower anchor attachement is used INSTEAD
of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle in the 5-point harness mode. The
tether is used IN ADDITION to the lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing
5-point harness mode car seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.
