Child ren Too Large For Booster Seats
LATCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower
Anchors and Tether for CH ild ren )
Child ren who are large enou gh to wear the shou lder belt
comfortably, and whose legs are long enou gh to bend
over the front of the seat when their back is against the
seat back, shou ld use the lap/ shou lder belt in a rear seat.
Your vehicle’s rear seat is equ ipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH. The LATCH
system provid es for the installation of the child restraint
withou t using the vehicle’s seat belts, instead securing
the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper
tether strap s from the child restraint to the vehicle
stru cture.

Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
The lap portion shou ld be low on the hip s and as snu g
as possible.

Check belt fit period ically. A child ’s squ irm ing or
slou ching can move the belt out of position.
LATCH-compatible child restraint system s are now avail-
able. However, becau se the lower anchorages are to be
introd uced over a period of years, child restraint system s
having attachm ents for those anchorages will continu e to
also have featu res for installation using the vehicle’s seat
belts. Child restraints having tether strap s and hooks for
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail-
able for som e time. For som e older child restraints, many
child restraint manu factu rers offer add-on tether strap
kits or retro-fit kits. You are urged to take advantage of all
the available attachm ents provid ed with you r child re-
straint in any vehicle.
If the shou lder belt contacts the face or neck, move the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a
child to put the shou lder belt und er an arm or behind
their back.
