Child Seat Functions Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children or LATCH, is a system available on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle seat belt installation methods. See pages 14 and 15 for LATCH components on this child seat. LATCH SYSTEM ANCHOR LOCATIONS Lower Anchors Tether Anchor Lower Anchors The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and tether anchors in a vehicle.

Child Seat Functions OR OR Rear-Facing Rear-Facing Forward-Facing Rear-Facing Tether Connector Strap Because every vehicle model is different, a location to anchor the tether for rear-facing installations may vary. Use the rear-facing tether connector strap to assist in creating an anchor point. 1 Find a fixed location in the vehicle that is bolted to the floor. * If you cannot find a location to create an anchor point, contact the vehicle manufacturer to identify a tether connection point.
Child Seat Functions IMPORTANT: The Versa-Tether® carry clip is only for use when you wish to carry the child seat between locations. Do not install the child seat with the VersaTether attached to the carry clip. Secure the excess Versa-Tether webbing in the elastic strap during use.

Child Seat Functions The Versa-Tether can indicate when the child seat has been in a moderate or severe crash (see page 4) and replacement of the child seat is necessary. Figure 1 shows a tether acceptable for continued use (provided the child seat has not been involved in a crash). The colored stitching will be intact but not visible from the back of the seat. Figures 2 and 3 show examples of when the tether has been damaged and is unacceptable for continued use.
