Installing Rear-Facing Car Seat with LATCH
WARNING — DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY can occur
• Only use the car seat LATCH system in vehicle seating locations
designated by the vehicle manufacturer for use with LATCH and that have
an anchor spacing of 11 in. (280 mm).
• Rear-Facing LATCH Push-on Connectors must be secured to the vehicle
LATCH lower anchors only. Connection to other vehicle anchors or vehicle
components could result in the anchor tearing free in a crash.
• Never attach more than one push-on connector to a vehicle lower anchor
unless recommended by the vehicle owner’s manual for that vehicle.
• Rear-Facing LATCH belt must be routed through Rear-Facing Belt Path.
• Do NOT install by this method for a child
weighing more than 25 lb (11.4 kg).
Step 1
If Rear-Facing Base is not securely attached
to the seat, install it now, see “Installing/
Removing Rear-Facing Base” on page 80.
• Anti-Rebound Bar must also be securely
attached to the car seat with the Locking
Pins, see “Installing/Removing Rear-
Facing Anti-Rebound Bar” on page 81.
Step 2
Select a Forward-Facing vehicle seating
location which has LATCH.
Locate the LATCH lower anchors (as
explained in the “Vehicle Child Restraint
Anchorage System (LATCH)” on page 17
in this manual and in your vehicle owner’s
manual. See Figure 16.
Step 3
If the vehicle seat back is adjustable, make
sure the seat back is locked in a more upright
position. Refer to vehicle owner’s manual for
recommended seat back angle. DO NOT
install or use this car seat while the vehicle
seat back is excessively reclined, as shown in
Figure 17.
