VEHICLE LATCH/UAS REQUIREMENTS
LATCH and UAS are acronyms for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (USA)
and Universal Anchorage System (Canada), and refer to a pair of fixed Lower Anchors
(or bars) and a Top Tether anchor that are built into your vehicle, in vehicles built after
September 1, 2002.
Note: Your vehicle owner's manual may also refer to this system as ISOFIX or Lower
Universal Anchorage System (LUAS).
The lower LATCH/UAS 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 the
symbol. Top tether anchors are located in various places behind the rear vehicle seat.
Center installation in a non-standard LATCH/UAS position:
Center installation of this booster seat is permitted using inner Lower Anchor Bars from the outside seating
positions if:
1.
your vehicle manual allows such installation; and
2.
the inner Lower Anchor Bars from the outside seating positions are 28-51 cm (11-20 in.) apart.
LATCH/UAS typically offers an easier and more consistent installation. However, this booster seat can be safely
installed using either LATCH/UAS or vehicle belts and meets the requirements of Federal Safety Standard
FMVSS 213 and Canadian Safety Standard CMVSS 213.2 with either installation method. Either method is safe
for your child when installed correctly.
The LATCH/UAS system is intended to be used ONLY as described in these instructions. Serious injury or death
may result from misuse. Refer to your vehicle Owner's Manual for lower anchor bar positions in your vehicle.
The Solution B-Fix/B2-Fix+Lux has been designed to attach to the lower anchors of this system using one of two
different styles of LATCH (see pgs. 18-19) and may also be used in seating positions without lower LATCH/UAS
anchors (see pg. 20).
