tether straps from the child restraint to the vehicle

structure.
LATCH-compatible child restraint systems are now avail-

able. However, because the lower anchorages are to be

introduced over a period of years, child restraint systems

having attachments for those anchorages will continue to

have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat

belts. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for

connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail-

able for some time. For some older child restraints, many

child restraint manufacturers offer add-on tether strap

kits or retrofit kits. You are urged to take advantage of all

the available attachments provided with your child re-

straint in any vehicle.
All three rear-seating positions have lower anchorages

that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible

child seats. You should never install LATCH-compatible

child seats so that two seats share a common lower

anchorage. If installing child seats in adjacent rear-

seating positions, or if your child restraints are not

LATCH-compatible, install the restraints using the vehi-

cle’s seat belts.
