Choosing LATCH or Vehicle Belts

The LATCH System
Anchor bars
Vehicle Belts
LATCH means Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren. Not all vehicles
manufactured before
September 2002 were
equipped with LATCH.
The LATCH system allows
a child restraint to be
secured in the vehicle
without using the vehicle
belt system and can ONLY
be used in vehicles that
have the anchor bars
installed.
Check your vehicle owners
manual to see which seating
positions may be equipped
with the LATCH system.
If LATCH is not an option,
you will use your vehicle's
belts. In most cases you
will use the lap/shoulder
belt combination. There
are some vehicle belts that
will not work with a child
restraint or will require
special attention. See next
page for specific
instructions.
