Get to Know Your Car Seat
What Seating Location Should I Use?
Review section 2-A to see all of the features of this car seat.
The best seating location for this car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be
installed, so be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available
seating positions, if any.
Review section 9-B, 9-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt OR the
LATCH system OR the lower anchor attachment. All are equally safe to use. INSTALL
USING ONLY ONE METHOD. Graco allows the securing of the car seat with LATCH in
the booster mode, only if the vehicle manufacture allows it.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 9 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how
to install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.
LATCH or Lower Anchor Attachment: The LATCH system or lower anchor
attachment allows you to securely attach your safety seat in your car without using
the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003 and newer model year
vehicles are required to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers began
including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify
the LATCH system.
According to accident statistics, the safest
place for your child in any vehicle is the back
seat. The center of the back seat can be the
safest during a possible side impact.

10
LATCH consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors, which are built-in
to your vehicle, and lower anchor attachment and tether that are built-in to
your car seat. Lower anchor attachment are used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s
seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle. Top tethers are used IN
ADDITION to the lower anchor attachment OR the vehicle’s seat belt to
secure a forward-facing car seat to the vehicle.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.

lower anchor spacing is 11 inches (28 cm) from the center
of one lower anchor to
