What is the LATCH system and how do I use it?

The LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system uses metal anchors built into the vehicle to hold a child restraint during driving or in a crash. To use it, find the lower anchors for your desired seating position, put the child restraint on the seat, attach and tighten the lower attachments to the lower anchors, and if recommended by the manufacturer, attach and tighten the top tether. Push and pull the child restraint to ensure it is secure. (Page 70)
