Seat Crease
Typical seat in a
passenger vehicle.
Other vehicle types
may have different
LATCH locations.
United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards have defined a new system for
installing car seats in vehicles. The system
is called LATCH. LATCH stands for:
Lower Anchorage and Tether for CHildren.
LATCH System for Vehicles:
LATCH in the vehicle consists of a top tether
anchor point and two lower anchor points.
Some vehicle owner manuals use the term
ISOFIX to identify the new car seat
anchorage system. This carseat with
LATCH can also be used in vehicle seating
positions equipped with ISOFIX.
Newer vehicles may have one or more seating
positions equipped with LATCH anchor points.
If vehicle is equipped with LATCH, the vehicle
lower anchor points may be visible at the vehicle
seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked
with a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot.
See your vehicle owner’s manual for exact
locations, anchor identification, and
requirements for use with a car seat.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top
tether anchor locations. They may be identified
using one of the anchor symbols (Fig. b or Fig. c).(Fig. a) (Fig. b) (Fig. c)
WHAT IS LATCH?

LATCH System:
LATCH consists of a permanently attached
lower anchorage belt and a top tether strap
(Fig. a).
ONLY use LATCH in a seating
position recommended
by vehicle manufacturer.
