Options For Securing A Car Seat:
This car seat can be secured to a vehicle using the LATCH System
or a vehicle seat belt.
1. LATCH System:
LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren.
Model year 2003 and newer vehicles are
equipped with LATCH Anchorage Systems.
Check vehicle owner’s manual to determine
if your vehicle has the LATCH Anchorage
System. Look for LATCH system symbol (fig. a)
or the LATCH Lower Anchor symbol (fig. b).
Some vehicle owner’s manuals may identify the
LATCH System as “ISOFIX”. An ISOFIX System
can be used in the same way as the LATCH System.
If your vehicle has the LATCH System, the LATCH
System including top tether should be used whenever
possible.
2. Vehicle Seat Belt and Top Tether Strap:
If your vehicle does not have the LATCH System, the
car seat MUST be secured to the vehicle using a vehicle
seat belt and top tether strap as required.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for seating locations recommended
for car seat use and location of top tether anchorages.
NOTE: Tether strap should always be used when a tether anchor is available.
The tether is used for forward-facing use only.
(fig. b)
(fig. a)

Top Tether Information:
-If a top tether anchor is not available in your
vehicle, the car seat MUST be secured with
only the vehicle seat belt until a top tether
anchor can be installed.
- For those passenger vehicles or buses where
top tether anchors are not available, the
car seat may be used without the top tether
provided a secure installation can be achieved.
NOTE: Top tether is not used in the rear-facing
position.
- When not in use, store top tether in pocket
at top of seat back (fig. c.).(fig. c)
