The safest seating position is one that works
best for your specic car seat, family and
vehicle. When determining whether the infant
car seat can be used with LATCH in the rear
center seating position, it is critical that you
refer to your vehicle owners manual. If the
carrier does not install securely in the rear center
seating location, it is recommended to move to
one of the outboard seating positions.
