Car seat information

Car Seat Latch

 

If you have a vehicle made after September 2002, it should be equipped with the new LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) car seat attachment system. This new anchor system makes safety seats easier to install because you no longer need to use seat belts to secure them.  In a 30-mph crash, children may be thrown forward with a force equal to thirty times their own weight. In the case of a 10-pound infant, a crash could cause the infant to be hurled forward with a force equal to falling from a three-story building! Don’t forget to buckle up!
