Which Installation Method Should I Use?
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat
belt OR the lower anchor attachment. Both are equally safe to use. INSTALL
USING ONLY ONE METHOD.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 10 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, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions. The
center of the back seat can be the safest during
a possible side impact.

LATCH consists of lower anchors and a tether anchor, which are built in
to your vehicle, and a lower anchor attachment and a tether that are built
in to your car seat. The lower anchor attachment is used INSTEAD of the
vehicle’s seat belt to secure the child seat to the vehicle. The tether is 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.
