SELECTING A VEHICLE SEAT POSITION

LATCH Overview (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
4moms recommends using the powered base installation whenever
possible to provide the best and easiest installation. All powered
installations must be performed using the LATCH system. Do not
attempt powered installation if LATCH is unavailable.
Model year 2003 and later vehicles have seats equipped with LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). Check your vehicle owner's
manual for LATCH compatible seating positions.
This child restraint does not come with or use a top tether strap.
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors in a vehicle.
Check your vehicle owner's manual for the exact locations and
information on use with a child restraint. Standard vehicle LATCH lower
anchor spacing is 11 inches (28 cm). This child restraint can be used in
a seating position with 11 - 16 inches (28 - 40.6 cm) of space between
the LATCH anchors if the vehicle manufacturer allows.
