The LATCH System
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) is a universal system for install-
ing child restraints without using vehicle
seat belts.
The LATCH system can ONLY be used in
vehicles that have the LATCH anchor bars
installed and designated LATCH seating
positions. Most vehicles manufactured
after September 2002 are equipped
with LATCH. Check your vehicle owner’s
manual to see which seating positions
may be equipped with the LATCH system.
When installing this child restraint
with vehicle belts or when using as
a booster seat, the LATCH hooks and
belt MUST be properly stored. To store
LATCH on this child restraint: Thread
LATCH belt through rear-facing belt path.
Then attach hooks to storage attachments
as shown. Gently pull free end of belt to
remove slack.

Vehicle Belts
If LATCH is not an option, you must use the
vehicle seat belt system to install the child
restraint.
There are some vehicle belts that will not
work with a child restraint or will require
special attention. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual for specific instructions.
WARNINGS: When used correctly the LATCH or vehicle
belts are equally safe. Do not use both the LATCH belt and
vehicle belt at the same time.
