LATCH system has three vehicle anchor points
for installing LATCH-equipped child seats.
There are two lower anchorages located at the
back of the seat cushion where it meets the
seatback and one top tether anchorage located
behind the seating position. These anchorages
are used to install LATCH-equipped child seats
without using the vehicle's seat belts. Some
seating positions may have a top tether anchor-
age but no lower anchorages. In these seating
positions, the seat belt must be used with the
top tether anchorage to install the child restraint.
Please see the following table for more
