WHAT IS LATCH?

LATCH is an acronym for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren
and refers to a pair of fixed Lower Anchors (or bars) and a Top
Tether anchor that are built into your vehicle.
The lower LATCH anchors are located in the crease, or bight,
between the vehicle seat back and seat cushion, and if not visible,
will typically be indicated by
located in various places behind the seat. Top tethers are not
required on infant car seats like the Cloud Q.
Is it safer?
LATCH typically offers an easier and more consistent installation.
However, this child restraint can be safely installed using either
LATCH or vehicle belts. Either method is safe for your child when
installed correctly.
LATCH is standard in vehicles manufactured after September 1,
2002. Refer to your vehicle Owner's Manual
anchor positions in your vehicle.

OUTER SEATING POSITIONS

Use the lower LATCH anchors OR a vehicle seat belt to install the
child restraint in outboard seating positions (those on either side of
the center position)
NEVER use LATCH together with the vehicle belts to
install this child restraint. Using both is not approved
and may cause improper performance of the child
restraint.
