Choosing an Installation Method: Overview
Never attach two LATCH/UAS connectors to one LATCH/UAS
anchorage in a vehicle, unless recommended by the vehicle
owner’s manual for your vehicle.
If the LATCH/UAS belt does not remain tight or the car seat
base can move more than 2.5 cm (1 in) in any direction, do not
use this seating location. Your child could be seriously injured
in a sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash.
Never use both the lower LATCH/UAS system and the vehicle
seat belt system at the same time to secure the car seat base.
⚠WARNING⚠
Death or Serious Injury Can Occur
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual regarding requirements for using the
vehicle’s LATCH/UAS anchorages with the car seat, or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for guidance.
The LATCH/UAS anchorage system makes car seat installation in a vehicle easier,
and does not use vehicle seat belts. LATCH stands for
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children, and is also referred to as lower Universal Anchorage System
(UAS) in Canada. In this manual, this system will be known as LATCH/UAS.
All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required to have built-in LATCH/
UAS anchorage systems. Some manufacturers began including LATCH/UAS
with their 2000 model year vehicles.
For infant car seat installations, the applicable parts of the vehicle LATCH/UAS
system are the two lower anchorages (horizontal bars) located in the vehicle
seat bight between the seat back and the seat cushion. These anchorages are
normally indicated by the symbol below or the word ‘ISOFIX.’
This car seat can be installed with the car seat base using the LATCH/UAS belt
and connectors. LATCH/UAS belt and connectors are included with the car
seat base and can be found in their storage location. The car seat cannot be
installed without the car seat base using the LATCH/UAS anchorage system.
Your car seat base can be installed with either LATCH/UAS or a vehicle seat belt.
Your car seat can be installed without the car seat base using a vehicle seat belt.
