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.
