Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to identify the new child restraint anchor system.
NOTE: Some vehicle manufacturers have lower maximum weight ratings for LATCH anchors, so you must consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call the vehicle manufacturer to confirm the limits on your vehicle’s LATCH anchors. Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children weighing more than 48 pounds (21.7 kg). See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations, anchor identification, and requirements for use with a child restraint.
9.2 LATCH System LATCH consists of a permanently attached lower anchor belt and a top tether strap. ONLY use LATCH in a seating position recommended by vehicle manufacturer. LATCH lower vehicle anchor points are defined as 11 inches from the center of one LATCH anchor to the center of another LATCH anchor.
