9.0 LATCH
9.1 What is LATCH?
United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards have defined a
system for installing child restraints in vehicles. The system is called LATCH.
LATCH stands for:
Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren.
LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether anchor point and two lower anchor
points.
Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the new child
restraint anchor system. This child restraint with LATCH can also be used in
vehicle seating positions equipped with ISOFIX.
Newer vehicles have one or more seating positions with LATCH anchor points.
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 this
symbol
CHECK vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top tether anchor locations. They
may be identified using one of the anchor symbols as shown
.
.
ONLY use LATCH on a child restraint in a seating position recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
Download from Www.Somanuals.co2m5. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers have lower maximum weight ratings for
LATCH anchors, so you must consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call the
vehicle manufacturer to confirm the limits on your vehicle’s LATCH anchors.
Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children
weighing more than 48 pounds (21.7 kg).

ONLY use LATCH in a seating
position recommended by vehicle
manufacturer.
LATCH lower vehicle anchor points
are defined as 11 inches from the

10.0 Using Child Restraint WITH Built-in Harness
FAILURE TO PROPERLY ADJUST THE HARNESS STRAPS
FOR YOUR CHILD INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A SHARP TURN,
SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint around your
child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It
does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
