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. For
example, sometimes the center rear seat has a lap belt only vehicle seat belt, which cannot
be used when this car seat is in Booster mode.

Review section 8-B, 8-C and 8-D 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 lower anchor attachment. Both are equally safe to use. INSTALL USING ONLY
ONE METHOD.
Graco allows the securing of the car seat with LATCH system in the booster mode,
only if the vehicle manufacturer allows it. The child still MUST BE SECURED with
the vehicle lap/shoulder seat belt.
Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 8 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’s 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 owner’s manual for exact location and use.
