LATCH: Lower Anchor Use
Your vehicle’s features may be considerably different
than those pictured here.
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) is a universal system for installing car seats without
using vehicle seat belts.
The lower anchor can ONLY be used in vehicles that have the
lower anchor bars installed in designated seating positions.
Most vehicles manufactured after September 2002 are
equipped with lower anchor bars.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating
positions may be equipped with LATCH: lower anchor bars.
Do not use both the lower anchor belt and vehicle belt
at the same time.
When used correctly the lower anchor belt or vehicle belts
are equally safe.
