You know those metal U-shaped anchors nestled into your car's back seat? How about the metal rings found just behind the back seat's headrest? Those are part of the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system, a standardized child restraint anchorage system that allows child safety seats to be installed without using the vehicle's seat belt system. Cars are required to have upper tether anchors in at least two rear passenger seats. These rings are affixed to the top of an infant car seat to provide a more secure attachment and reduce the risk of injury in an accident. And while most parents adhere to the guidelines from their car seat manufacturer in terms of weight and age limits and proper usage, vehicles' weight limits for the LATCH system can differ from what car seat manufacturers recommend.
