Lower anchorages secure the child restraint in
the seat without using the vehicle's safety belts.
Anchorages provide a secure and easy-to-use at-
tachment and minimize the possibility of improp-
er child restraint installation.
All child restraints manufactured after Septem-
ber 1, 2002, must have lower anchorage attach-
ments for the LATCH system.
Please remember that the lower anchorage
points are only intended for installation and at-
tachment of child restraints specifically certified
for use with LATCH lower anchorages. Child re-
straints that are not equipped with the lower an-
chorage attachments can still be installed in
compliance with the child restraint manufactur-
er's instructions on using vehicle safety belts.

Improper use of LATCH lower anchorages can
cause serious personal injury in an accident.
— Always carefully follow the child restraints
manufacturer's instructions for proper in-
stallation of the child restraint and proper
use of the lower anchorages or safety belts
in your vehicle.
— Never secure or attach any luggage or other
items to the LATCH lower anchorages.
— Always read and heed the important infor-
mation about child restraints in this chapter
and WARNINGS & page 278, Child safety.
