76 Seats and Restraints
Wherever a child restraint isinstalled, be sure to follow theinstructions that came with the childrestraint system and secure thechild restraint system properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecuredchild restraint can move around in acollision or sudden stop and injurepeople in the vehicle. Be sure toproperly secure any child restraint inthe vehicle—even when no child isin it.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
The LATCH system secures a childrestraint during driving or in a crash.LATCH attachments on the childrestraint are used to attach the childrestraint to the anchors in thevehicle. The LATCH system isdesigned to make installation of achild restraint easier.
In order to use the LATCH system inyour vehicle, you need a childrestraint that has LATCHattachments. LATCH-compatible
rear-facing and forward-facing childseats can be properly installedusing either the LATCH anchors orthe vehicle’ssafetybelts.Donotuse both the safety belts and theLATCH anchorage system to securearear-facingorforward-facingchild seat.
Booster seats use the vehicle’ssafety belts to secure the child inthe booster seat. If the manufacturerrecommends that the booster seatbe secured with the LATCH system,this can be done as long as thebooster seat can be positionedproperly and there is no interferencewith the proper positioning of thelap-shoulder belt on the child.
Make sure to follow the instructionsthat came with the child restraint,and also the instructions in thismanual.
When installing a child restraint withatoptether,youmustalsouseeither the lower anchors or thesafety belts to properly secure thechild restraint. A child restraint mustnever be attached using only the toptether.
The LATCH anchorage system canbe used until the combined weightof the child plus the child restraint is29.5 kg (65 lbs). Use the safety beltalone instead of the LATCHanchorage system once thecombined weight is more than29.5 kg (65 lbs).
SeeSecuring Child Restraints (Withthe Safety Belt in the Front Seat)083orSecuring Child Restraints(With the Safety Belt in the RearSeat)081.
Child restraints built after March2014 will be labeled with thespecific child weight up to which theLATCH system can be used toinstall the restraint.
The following explains how to attachachildrestraintwiththeseattachments in the vehicle.
Not all vehicle seating positions orchild restraints have lower anchorsand attachments or top tetheranchors and attachments. In thiscase, the safety belt must be used(with top tether where available) to
