Options For Securing A Car Seat:
This infant car seat can be secured to a vehicle using a standard
vehicle seat belt or the new LATCH System.
1. LATCH System:
LATCH stands for Lower Anchorage and Tether for CHildren.
The LATCH System can be used when securing the car seat with the base. 
Starting with model year 2003 vehicles are equipped with LATCH Systems.  See “LATCH System” 
section for more information.  Check vehicle owner’s manual to determine if your vehicle has the 
LATCH System that may be identified with the symbol in fig. c.
Some vehicle owner’s manuals may identify the LATCH System as “ISOFIX”.  An ISOFIX System 
can be used in the same way as the LATCH System.
If your vehicle has the LATCH System, the LATCH System should be used whenever possible.
2. Vehicle Seat Belt:
The car seat with the base or without the base can be secured using vehicle seat belts.
If your vehicle does not have LATCH System, the car seat MUST be secured to the vehicle using a vehicle 
seat belt.
Check vehicle owner’s manual for seating locations recommended for car seat use.
