7.0 LATCH Anchorage System

LATCH ATTACHMENT SYSTEM

Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) System is
designed to make installation of child Car Seats in motor
vehicles easier by requiring child restraints to be installed without
using the vehicle's seat belt system. Since September 1, 2002, at
least two rear seating positions of all cars, mini vans and light trucks
come equipped LATCH systems which include lower child restraint
anchor points located between a vehicle's seat cushion and seat
back, and top tether anchors. Also on September 1, 2002, all child
restraints will have two attachments which will connect to the vehicle's
lower anchor points and top tethers (on forward-facing car seats).
Together, the lower anchors and upper tethers make up the LATCH
system. Read your vehicle owner's manual for exact locations,
identification and requirements for use with a child restraint.
ONLY use LATCH to secure your child
restraint in a seating position recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer.
Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for
the vehicle's top tether anchor locations.
They should be identified by one of
the symbols shown in (Fig 24-1).
When available, LATCH is the
recommended method of securing
the Car Seat in the vehicle.
