Anchor Points

Vehicle

Seat Crease

Typical seat in a passenger vehicle.

Other vehicle types may have

different

LATCH locations or

different markings.

LATCH is defined as anchorages 280mm (11 inches) between anchor
points. Graco does not recommend using the

LATCH system in the

center position if the spacing is greater than 280 mm (11 inches) unless
recommended in your vehicle ownerÊs manual.

When using the

LATCH systemÊs lower anchorage belt to secure the

child restraint, buckle the unused vehicleÊs lap/shoulder belt behind
the child restraint to prevent the child from becoming entangled in the
lap/shoulder belt.
