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.
