What does the LATCH system acronym stand for?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The LATCH system is the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. Inside your Ford vehicle, you will be able to locate these anchors <\/span>on your Ford seats, in the crevice where the back of your seats <\/span>meets<\/span> the base of your seats. These anchors and tethers are a place for you to attach the straps found on child safety seats.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I know which method to use for securing my child\u2019s seat in a Ford?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to read the Owner\u2019s Manual for your car seat, which should tell you which method to use for securing it in a vehicle. You can also read the Ford vehicle\u2019s Owner\u2019s Manual to see if it adds any specific instructions for safety seats. The best system will be the one <\/span>your car seat and Ford vehicle Owner\u2019s Manual suggest.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
