the seat without using the vehicle's safety
belts. Anchorages provide a secure and easy-
to-use attachment
and minimize the possibili-
ty of improper child restraint installation.
All child restraints manufactured after Sep-
tember 1, 2002, must have lower anchorage
attachments
for the LATCH system .
Remember th at the lower a nchorage po ints

ment of chi ld restraints specifically certified
for use with LATCH lower anchorages . Child
restraints that are not equipped with the low-
er anchorage attachments
can still be instal-
led in compliance with the child restraint
manufacturer's
instructions on using veh icle
safety belts .
