Typical seat in a passenger vehicle.
Other vehicle types may have
different LATCH locations or
different markings.
LATCH is defined as anchorages 280mm (11 inches) between anchor
points. Graco does not recommend using the LATCH system in the
center position if the spacing is greater than 280 mm (11 inches) unless
recommended in your vehicle owner’s manual.
When using the LATCH system’s lower anchorage belt to secure the
child restraint, buckle the unused vehicle’s lap/shoulder belt behind
the child restraint to prevent the child from becoming entangled in the
lap/shoulder belt.
