Seating and Safety Restraints This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter. Your vehicle may be equipped with LATCH anchors for child seat installation at the seating positions with tan or gray locator buttons. • Bucket seats • 60/40 seats Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death. Connectors on the LATCH child seat and the child seat instructions may use the symbol shown here. Your vehicle seat will have plain gray or tan buttons, instead of this symbol, to indicate the location of the LATCH lower anchors. 149
