Which Installation Method Should I Use? - Graco SlimFit3 LX Instruction Manual

According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions. The
center of the back seat can be the safest during
a possible side impact.

Which Installation Method Should I Use?

This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the
lower anchor attachment. Both are equally safe to use. INSTALL USING ONLY ONE
METHOD.
Graco allows the securing of the car seat with the LATCH system in the booster
mode, only if the vehicle manufacturer allows it. If securing the car seat with the
lower anchor connectors in booster mode, the tether MUST be used.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 10 and your vehicle owner's manual to learn
how to install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH or Lower Anchor Attachment: The LATCH system or Lower Anchor
Attachment allows you to securely attach your safety seat in your car without using
the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003 and newer model year
vehicles are required to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers began
including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify
the LATCH system.
