THE LATCH SYSTEM (LOWER ANCHORS AND TETHERS FOR CHILDREN)
Most 2018 INFINITI 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.
