TCH System In V
ehicles:
Child restraint anchorage system or LATCH
System in the vehicle consists of two lower
anchors located at the vehicle seat bight
and a top tether anchor (fig. c). Refer to
vehicle owner’s manual for seating locations
which have the LATCH System.
Lower anchors are visible in some vehicles
and others are not. Those that are not visible
are identified by a solid color round dot on the
vehicle upholstery or a round dot with a picture
of a car seat in the center as shown in fig. d.
The vehicle manufacturer may provide funnel guides
to separate the vehicle seat cushions providing easier
access to the lower anchorage. See vehicle owner’s manual.
