THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
LATCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower
Anchors and Tether for CH ild ren )
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.
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.
NOTE: When using the LATCH attaching system to
install a child restraint, please ensu re that all seat belts
not being used for occupant restraints are stow ed and out
of reach of child ren. It is recom mend ed that before
installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of
reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt
behind the child restraint, rou te the seat belt throu gh the
child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This shou ld
stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inqu isitive child .
Remind all child ren in the vehicle that the seat belts are
not toys and shou ld not be played with, and never leave
you r child unattend ed in the vehicle.
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
