Britax Child Safety, Inc.
Using the Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS)
The Lower Universal Anchorage
System, or LUAS, is a system
available on this child seat that helps
to anchor the booster seat into the
car for added stability and safety
in the event of a crash. The lower
anchor system does not restrain
your child. You must use the lap-
shoulder belt to properly secure
your child.
The figure at right 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 LUAS, the maximum
weight rating for the lower anchors,
information on the lower anchor
locations, and designated seating
positions available for use with this
child seat.
