7.3 Installation of the Base using LATCH
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH). System is designed to make
installation of child safety seats easier by
requiring child safety seats to be installed
without using the vehicle’s seat belt system.
By September 1, 2002, two rear seating
positions of all cars, mini vans and light
trucks will come equipped with lower child
safety seat anchor points located between a
vehicle’s seat cushion and seat back. Also by
September 1, 2002, all child safety seats will
have two attachments which will connect to
the vehicle’s lower anchor points. Together,
the lower anchors and upper tethers make up
the LATCH system. Rear-facing infant seats
do not make use of the upper tether.
10. If you are using the Base, check
that nothing is on top of the base, or
anything that will interfere with the
proper latching of the Safety Seat to
the Base. Place the Safety Seat onto
the Base and push down until the
Safety Seat latches securely to the
Base and you hear a click (Fig. 45-1).
Pull upward on the Safety Seat to
check that the Safety Seat is securely
latched onto the base (Fig. 45-2).

onto the Base, the Safety Seat will NOT
provide Protection for your child. DO NOT
