United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 
Standards have defined a new system for
installing car seats in vehicles. The system 
is called

Lower Anchorage and Tether for CH ildren.
LATCH
System for Vehicles:
LATCH
in the vehicle consists of a top tether 
anchor point and two lower anchor points.  
Some vehicle owner manuals use the term 
ISOFIX to identify the new car seat 
anchorage system. 
LATCH
can also be 
used in vehicle seating positions 
equipped with ISOFIX
Newer vehicles may have one or more seating 
positions equipped with 
LATCH
anchor points.
If vehicle is equipped with 
LATCH
, the vehicle 
lower anchor points may be visible at the vehicle
seat crease. If not visible, they may be marked 
with a symbol (Fig. a) or a colored dot. See your 
vehicle owner’s manual for exact locations, 
anchor identification, and requirements for use 
with a car seat.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for vehicle top 
tether anchor locations. They may be identified
using one of the anchor symbols (Fig. b or 
Fig. c).
