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:

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 “IS FIX”. An IS FIX 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.

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.
Tether strap use is recommended for rear-facing when possible.
