Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren
(LATCH)
LATCH is an acronym for Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren and refers to a pair of xed lower
anchors (or bars) and a top tether anchor that are
built into your vehicle.
The lower LATCH anchors are located in the crease, or
bight, between the vehicle seat back and seat cushion,
and may or may not be visible at a glance. If the lower
LATCH anchor locations are not visible, their position will
be indicated by symbols.
Top tether anchors are located in various places behind
the seat, typically behind the headrest or at the bottom
of the back of the seat. These anchor the top of forward
facing child restraints and are NOT USED for the Aton
Infant Carrier or the Base.
LATCH typically offers an easier and more consistent
installation. However, this child restraint can be safely
installed using either LATCH or vehicle belts. Either
method is safe for your child when installed correctly.

child restraint in the center seating position unless
the vehicle manufacturer speci cally allows it.
NEVER USE BOTH LATCH and VEHICLE BELTS
to install this child restraint. Using BOTH is NOT
APPROVED and may cause improper performance of
the child restraint.
