When buying a child seat, you need

to choose either a conventional child

seat, or one designed for use with

the Lower Anchors and Tethers for

CHildren (LATCH) system.

Conventional child seats must be

secured to a vehicle with a seat belt,

whereas LATCH-compatible seats

are secured by attaching the seat to

hardware built into the second-row

seats.

Since LATCH-compatible child seats

are easier to install and reduce the

possibility of improper installation,

we recommend selecting this style.

In seating positions and vehicles not

equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-

compatible child seat can be installed

using a seat belt.

Whatever type of seat you choose, to

provide proper protection, a child

seat should meet three

requirements:

1.

The child seat should meet Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213

or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard 213.

Look for FMVSS

213 or CMVSS 213 on the box.

2.

The child seat should be of the

proper type and size to fit the child.

Rear-facing for infants, forward-

facing for small children.

3.

The child seat should fit the vehicle

seating position (or positions)

where it will be used.

Before purchasing a conventional

child seat, or using a previously

purchased one, we recommend that

you test the seat in the specific

vehicle seating position or positions

where the seat will be used.
