Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the
LATCH system OR the lower anchor system. All are equally safe to use. INSTALL
USING ONLY ONE METHOD.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 9 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to
install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH or Lower Anchor Attachment: The LATCH system or Lower Anchor
Attachment allows you to securely attach your safety seat in your car without using
the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003 and newer model year
vehicles are required to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers began
including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify
the LATCH system.
LATCH consists of lower anchors and a tether anchor, which are built-in to your
vehicle, and lower anchor attachments and tether that is built-in to your car seat.
Lower anchor attachments are used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to secure
the child seat to the vehicle. The tether is used IN ADDITION to the lower anchor
attachments OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing car seat to the
vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.
