WHAT IS LATCH?

LATCH is an acronym for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren
and refers to a pair of fixed Lower Anchors (or bars) and a Top
Tether anchor that are built into your vehicle.
The lower LATCH anchors are located in the crease, or bight,
between the vehicle seat back and seat cushion, and if not visible,
will typically be indicated by symbols. Top tether anchors are
located in various places behind the seat. Top tethers are not
applicable on infant car seats like the Cloud Q.
Is it safer?
LATCH typically offers an easier and more consistent installation.
However, this child restraint can be safely installed using either
LATCH or vehicle belts. Either method is safe for your child when
installed correctly.
LATCH is standard in vehicles manufactured after September 1,
2002. Refer to your vehicle Owner's Manual for lower LATCH
anchor positions in your vehicle.

OUTER SEATING POSITIONS

Use the lower LATCH anchors OR a vehicle seat belt to install the
child restraint in outboard seating positions (those on either side of
the center position)
NEVER use LATCH together with the vehicle belts to
install this child restraint. Using both is not approved
and may cause improper performance of the child
restraint.

USING LATCH

CENTER SEATING POSITIONS

If your vehicle does not have Lower Anchors in the center seating
position, check your Vehicle Owner's Manual to see if you are
allowed to use the two inner Lower Anchors from the outboard
seating positions to install a Child Restraint.
CYBEX allows this child restraint to be installed using the two inner
Lower Anchors from the outboard seating positions if the distance
between the inner Lower Anchors is between 11 and 20 inches
(28-51 cm) AND if your vehicle manufacturer allows it. (If distance
is not correct and/or not allowed by vehicle manufacturer, use the
vehicle belt for installation in the center position.)
When using the inner Lower Anchors make sure there are no
obstructions from a buckle stalk for the installation or that the
LATCH straps or mini connectors do not block vehicle belt buckles.
Make sure there is enough height to use the Load Leg in the Center
Seating Position. Many vehicles have a hump in the floor that could
cause the Load Leg, even its shortest position, to push the Base
above the vehicle seat. See page 30.

USING LATCH GUIDES

1. Locate the lower LATCH anchors or the
symbols indicating their location.
2. If the lower LATCH anchors are hidden behind the crease
between the seat back and seat cushion, install the
supplied LATCH Guides to the lower LATCH anchors
for easier installation of the Load Leg Base US.
3. To install, connect the two LATCH Guides to the two
lower LATCH anchors by sliding the LATCH Guides into
the crease and under the lower LATCH anchors.
