What is The Britax LATCH System?
LATCH stands for "Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren." It consists of easy installation connectors that attach to vehicles featuring LATCH connection points.
Located near the vehicle's seat belts, these factory installed anchor points provide a secure and easy connection. LATCH with Versa-Tether™ improves the ease and safety of the child seat installation.
What is Britax Versa-Tether®?
The Versa-Tether® is an additional anchor aid that provides the most security in both forward and rear facing installations. It utilizes the factory installed automobile car seat upper anchor points.
The Versa-Tether® anchors the top of the carseat, minimizing the possibility of a head injury. The Versa-Tether® is highly recommended for children weighing more than 50 lbs., and is typically used in conjunction with the LATCH System.
What is the Britax HUGS™ System?
HUGS™ stands for "Harness Ultra Guard." This feature is designed to better distribute webbing loads to reduce head movement and minimize the chance for webbing edge loading on the child's neck in the case of an impact. It is also designed to reduce the chance of improper positioning of the chest clip.
Britax makes the safety and comfort of your child their top priority!
