What is LATCH?
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
refers to a pair of fixed Lower Anchors (or bars) and
a Top Tether Anchor that are built into your vehicle.
LATCH is standard in vehicles manufactured after
September 1, 2002. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
anchor positions in your vehicle.
The LATCH anchors are located in the crease between the
vehicle seat back and seat cushion, and if not visible, will typically
be indicated by symbols. Top Tether Anchors are located in
various places behind the rear vehicle seat (see page 51).
LATCH can oer an easier and more consistent installation.
However, this child restraint can be safely installed using either
Lower Anchors or vehicle belts and meets the requirements
of FMVSS 213 with either installation method. Either method is safe for your child when installed
correctly. When using either method, it is best practice to ALWAYS use Top Tether when installing
FORWARD-FACING.
