Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children or LATCH, is a system
available on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle
seat belt installation methods. See pages 14 and 15 for LATCH
components on this child seat.
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and
tether anchors in a vehicle. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to
learn if it is equipped with LATCH, the maximum weight rating for
the lower anchors, and for information on the lower anchor locations
and seating positions available for use with this child seat.
Standard vehicle seat spacing between LATCH anchors is 11 inches
(27.9 cm). This child seat can be used in a seating position with up
to 20 inches (50.8 cm) of space between the LATCH anchors if the
vehicle manufacturer allows.
