Seating and Safety Restraints The LATCH anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the second row seat between the cushion and seatback. The LATCH anchors are below the locator symbols on the seat back on 6 and 7-passenger vehicles. The 5-passenger vehicle does not require the symbol, however, the anchor itself is located in the same area. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps. Refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this chapter. Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors shown. Plastic LATCH guides can be obtained from an authorized dealer. They snap onto the LATCH lower anchors in the seat to help attach a child seat with rigid attachments. The guides hold the seat trim away to expose the anchor and make it easier to attach some child seats. WARNING: Never attach two 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. 227 2010 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
