LATCH
United States Motor Vehicle Safety Standards have defined a system for installing
Child Restraints in vehicles called LATCH. LATCH may ONLY be used IN PLACE
OF vehicle belt if the vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchor points. DO NOT
use both the seat belt and LATCH at the same time. Please refer to the vehicle
owner's manual for designated LATCH locations in vehicles.
LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether anchor point, which is not used with
this child restraint, and two lower anchor points. Some vehicles owner's manual use
the term "ISOFIX". LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating positions equipped
with ISOFIX.
If the vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle lower anchor points may be visible at
the seat crease. If not visible, the seating position may be marked with a symbol (fig. a) or a
colored dot.
