LATCH is a safe way to secure a car seat to a vehicle.
The label on your car seat will tell you how long to use the lower anchors and switch to the seat belt plus tether, depending on your child’s age and weight. Continue to use the top tether until the time your child moves to the belt-positioning booster seat. #TNCPSWeek
