What is “LATCH”?
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a system that is available for installing most new child safety seats in most new vehicles. It can make installation easier, and it is just as safe as installing child safety seats with safety belts. If your vehicle and child safety seat are equipped with LATCH, you can follow the vehicle and safety seat instructions for using the system to install the seat. Be sure to attach the connectors on your child safety seat to the special LATCH anchors in your vehicle and lock the seat tightly in place.
