Choosing Lower Anchor or
Vehicle Belts
The LATCH System
The lower anchors of LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren) is a universal system for installing child restraints with-
out using vehicle seat belts. The lower anchor system can ONLY
be used in vehicles that have the lower anchor bars installed and
designated LATCH 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 the LATCH system.
When installing this child restraint
with vehicle belts or when using
as a booster seat, the lower anchor
hooks and belt MUST be properly
stored.
To store the lower anchor belt on
this child restraint: Thread lower an-
chor belt through rear-facing belt path.
Then attach hooks to storage attach-
ments as shown. Gently pull free end of
belt to remove slack.

Vehicle Belts
If lower anchors are not an option or if your child weighs more
than 40 lb (18 kg), 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 lower anchor belt
or vehicle belts are equally safe. Do not use both the lower
anchor belt and vehicle belt at the same time.
