United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards have defined a new system for
installing car seats in vehicles. The system
is called
LATCH . LATCH stands for:
Lower Anchorage and Tether for CH ildren.
LATCH System for Vehicles:
Some vehicle owner manuals use the term
ISOFIX to identify the new car seat
anchorage system. This carseat with
LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating
positions equipped with ISOFIX.
Newer vehicles may have one or more seating
positions equipped with
LATCH anchor points.
If vehicle is equipped with LATCH , the vehicle
lower anchor points may be visible at the vehicle
seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked
with a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot.
See your vehicle owner’ s manual for exact
locations, anchor identification, and
requirements for use with a car seat.

WHAT IS LATCH ?
LATCH is defined as anchorages 280mm (11.02 inches) on
center. As a manufacturer, we do not recommend using the
LATCH system in the center position if it exceeds this length.
