9-D Choosing LATCH or Seat Belts
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the LATCH
system.
The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your car seat in your car without using the
vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit.
For seating positions equipped with LATCH, experts recommend trying the LATCH
installation first and only using the seat belt in that seating position if LATCH, for
some reason, results in a looser fit. If you want to use the center rear seat and
LATCH is not available in that position (check the vehicle owner's manual), try the
seat belt to be sure you can get a tight installation. If you cannot, try using LATCH
in a different seating position. Remember to only use LATCH in seating positions
recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.
