LATCH – Long Route

s Figure A illustrates a typical Long Route LATCH installation. The restraint is shipped with the LATCH strap and connectors in the long route configuration. s If choosing to use LATCH verify that your vehicle is

equipped with LATCH anchors. If LATCH anchors A are not installed, you must use vehicle belt installation methods.

WARNING! Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors. Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg) child is

the vehicle LATCH anchor limit.
