What is LATCH?
LATCH is an acronym for Universal Anchorage
System and refers to a pair of fixed Lower Anchors (or
bars) and a Top Tether anchor that are built into your
vehicle, in vehicles built after September 1, 2002.
The lower LATCH anchors are located in the crease,
or bight, 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.
LATCH typically oers an easier and more consistent installation.
However, this child restraint can be safely installed using either
LATCH or vehicle belts and meets the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 213 with either installation
method. Either method is safe for your child when installed
correctly. When using either method, ALWAYS use tether when installing in the FORWARD
FACING position.
LATCH is standard in vehicles manufactured after September 1, 2002. Refer to your vehicle
Owner’s Manual for lower LATCH anchor positions in your vehicle.
