Choosing Vehicle Seat Location; Choosing Latch Or Seat Belts; What Is Latch? - Graco SNUGRIDE 30 Instruction Manual

2-E Choosing Vehicle Seat
Location
Review your vehicle owner's manual for seating
locations. Review section 6 for additional information.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the
car seat can be installed. Be sure to check your vehicle
owner's manual for all available seating positions.
According to accident statistics, the
safest place for your child in any
vehicle is the back seat. The center
of the back seat can be the safest
during a possible side impact.
NEVER place this child restraint rear-
facing in a vehicle seating location that
has an active front air bag.
In the event there is no back seat, review your vehicle
owner's manual to see how to use your infant child restraint.

2-F Choosing LATCH or Seat Belts
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the
vehicle seat belt OR the LATCH system. Both systems are equally
safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. Review
section 6 for additional information.
2-G What is LATCH?
LATCH consists of lower anchors, which are built-in to
your vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to
your car seat. Lower anchors are used INSTEAD of the
vehicle's seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle's owner manual for exact location
and use. Review section 6 for additional information.
