seat and seat belt system.

with your child. Always follow all recommended procedures.
All U.S. states require that infants and small children be restrained in a certified child

THE LATCH SYSTEM (LOWER ANCHORS AND TETHERS FOR
CH
ILDREN)
Most 2012 NISSAN vehicles are equipped with universal child restraint lower anchors and
top tether anchors for the installation of child restraints equipped with LATCH attachments.
With this system, you do not have to use a vehicle seat belt to secure the child restraint.
Instead, special anchor points are utilized to install the child restraint, provided it is
compatible with the LATCH system. See the vehicle owner’s manual for details and
additional important information.
