Standards have defined a new system for  
installing car seats in vehicles. The system  
is called LATCH. LATCH stands for:

Points  
passenger vehicle.  
Other vehicle types  
may have different

LATCH System for Vehicles:  
LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether  
anchor point and two lower anchor points.  
Vehicle  
Lower Anchor  
Points  
Some vehicle owner manuals use the term  
ISOFIX to identify the new car seat  
anchorage system. This carseat with  
LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating  
positions equipped with ISOFIX.  
Newer vehicles may have one or more seating  
positions equipped with LATCH anchor points.  
Vehicle  
Seat Crease  
If vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle  
lower anchor points may be visible at the vehicle  
seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked  
with a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot.  
See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact  
locations, anchor identification, and  
requirements for use with a car seat.  
Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top  
tether anchor locations. They may be identified  
using one of the anchor symbols (Fig. b or Fig. c).
