Universal Anchorage System (UAS)
Information
As of September 1, 2002, Universal Anchorage Systems
were required to be installed on child restraint systems.
Vehicles built after this date are required to have anchor
brackets/bars built into the vehicle seat.The UAS allows
for easier installation of child restraint systems as the
vehicle seat belt does not have to be used.
In the United States the term "LATCH" is used instead
of UAS. UAS and LATCH mean the same thing.
Your vehicle owner's manual provides information on
the UAS brackets installed in the vehicle.The manual
also provides additional information to help you
correctly install a restraint system that has UAS.
If your vehicle is not equipped with UAS, installing the
child restraint with the seat belt is just as secure.
Note: UAS brackets cannot be installed in older
vehicles.

Vehicle Seat Belt

A child restraint must be securely attached in a vehicle.
Most passenger vehicles, vans and trucks have seat belts
that firmly lock around the child restraint system.
Some vehicle seat belts require a locking clip to attach
the child restraint securely.
Your vehicle owner's manual best describes the use of a
child restraint with the vehicle's seat belt.
Check the vehicle owner's manual for the correct use of
your seat belt with a child restraint.

Storing Your Child Restraint

To protect your child restraint, store in the house, not
in the garage or attic. The hot and cold temperatures
can harm the plastic shell and/or the harness system if
stored for a long period of time.
