LATCH-compatible child restraint systems are now avail-
able. However, because the lower anchorages are to be
introduced over a period of years, child restraint systems
having attachments for those anchorages will continue to
have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat
belts. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail-
able for some time. For some older child restraints, many
child restraint manufacturers offer add-on tether strap
kits or retrofit kits. You are urged to take advantage of all
the available attachments provided with your child re-
straint in any vehicle.
The two outboard seating positions have lower anchor-
ages that are capable of accommodating LATCH-
compatible child seats. You can also use the inboard
mounting loops from the each outboard LATCH system
loops to install a child seat when the child seat is
equipped with flexible straps. You should never install
LATCH-compatible child seats so that two seats share a
common lower anchorage. If installing child seats in
adjacent rear seating positions, or if your child restraints
are not LATCH-compatible, install the restraints using
the vehicle’s seat belts.
