Where are the components of the LATCH system located in my car?
There are two items in the vehicle that comprise the vehicle part of the LATCH system. First, there are a minimum of two “LATCH-equipped” seating positions in the rear of the vehicle; each has two small bars/anchors found in the space between the seat back and the seat cushion (the area is sometimes referred to as the seat bight). Second, there are a minimum of three anchors for the top tether straps. In sedans, these are usually located behind the vehicle’s rear seat on the rear shelf. In some larger vehicles such as vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs, these anchor points may be found on the rear of a vehicle seat itself, on the floor, the roof, or other location. Be sure to carefully read your vehicle owner’s manual to find out where they are in your particular vehicle and to avoid confusing them with other vehicle hardware such as luggage tie-downs.
