Child Seat Functions

Using the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH)
The Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children or LATCH, is a system
available on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle seat belt
installation methods. See pages 10 and 11 for LATCH components on this
child seat.
LATCH SYSTEM ANCHOR LOCATIONS

Anchor
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and tether
anchors in a vehicle. Check your vehicle owner's manual to learn if it is
equipped with LATCH, the maximum weight rating for the lower anchors,
and for information on the lower anchor locations and seating positions
available for use with this child seat.
Standard vehicle seat spacing between LATCH anchors is 11 in. (27.9 cm).
This child seat can be used in a seating position with up to 20 in. (50.8 cm)
of space between the LATCH anchors if the vehicle manufacturer allows.
WARNING!
In some cases, the vehicle
head restraint can prevent the child seat head pad
from being raised high enough to properly adjust
the harness for the fit of your child when using a
forward facing reclined position. DO NOT force the
child seat head pad past the vehicle head restraint.
Doing so could cause the child seat not to perform
as intended. If the location of the vehicle head
restraint interferes with the child seat head pad,
raise or remove the vehicle head restraint. If the vehicle head restraint
cannot be removed, move the child seat to the upright position or try a
different seating location.

your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Only
use the designated tether anchor for each seating position.

attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact
your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO NOT modify
your vehicle without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the Versa-Tether in the pouch on the back of the child
seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child seat with the
Versa-Tether attached to the carry clip.
