LATCH Warnings
Rear-facing and Forward-facing Use
• The LATCH system is intended to be used ONLY as
described in these instructions. Serious injury or death
may result from misuse. LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children) is a system for attaching the child
restraint to your vehicle seat. It can be used in place
of the seat belts in vehicles with vehicle lower anchor
bars. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the
locations of the vehicle lower anchor bars.
Note: Your vehicle owner’s manual may refer to this
system as “Universal Anchorage System,” “Lower
Universal Anchorage System,”or ”ISOFIX.”
• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your
vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the
child restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy,
follow your vehicle owner’s manual.
• ONLY use for securing child restraint to vehicle lower
anchor bars.
• NEVER attach two lower anchor connectors to one
vehicle lower anchor bar.
• NEVER use the vehicle seat belts when using the
Lower anchor connector assembly. Using both
together can cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.
• To avoid strangulation, you must store the unused
LATCH harness, with all slack removed, in the storage
area on the back of the seat. Roll or fold the excess
LATCH strap and secure with a rubber band to prevent
serious injury to vehicle occupants.
• ALWAYS be sure that the lower anchor connectors
are attached to the vehicle lower anchor bars by
pulling hard on the lower anchor connectors. If
they are not attached, the lower anchor connector
assembly will not secure your child restraint. Serious
injury or death may result.
• DO NOT use this child restraint if it moves more than
25 mm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at either
the rear-facing or forward-facing belt path on the
child restraint. Serious injury or death may result from
poor installation. If you cannot tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move it to another location.
