Using Latch - Britax B-SAFE User Manual

Using LATCH

WARNING!
• Use either the LATCH system or the vehicle belt methods to
install this child seat. Using both is not approved and may
cause the child seat not to perform as intended.
• Verify that your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchors. If
LATCH anchors are not available, you must use vehicle belt
installation methods.
• The LATCH connectors must be in an upright position and
the strap should be tight and not twisted to ensure proper
installation.
Vehicles manufactured after September 1, 2002 have seating positions equipped with
LATCH anchors (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children). If a vehicle is equipped
with LATCH, look for the LATCH or tether symbols identifying anchor locations.
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and tether anchors in
a vehicle. Check your vehicle owner's manual for the exact anchor locations, and
information on use with an infant car seat. Standard vehicle seat spacing between
LATCH anchors is 11 inches (27.9 cm). This child seat can be used in a seating
position with up to 20 inches (50.8 cm) of space between the LATCH anchors if the
vehicle manufacturer allows.
