secure the child safety seat.

Attaching child safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children) attachments for child seat anchors
Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments
that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle.
When properly installed, this type of seat eliminates the need to use seat
belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether
strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See
Attaching
child safety seats with tether straps
in this chapter.
Your vehicle has LATCH anchors for child seat installation as shown in
the illustration. There are none in the front passenger seat.
The anchors closest to the center
rear seat are provided primarily for
child seats at the outboard seating
positions. These anchors are farther
apart than the pairs of lower
anchors for child seat installation at
the outboard seats.
