LATCH, or Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children, is a system that was developed to make it easier to install car seats. It can be used in both rear-facing and forward-facing car seats. However, the LATCH system has been evaluated by many experts and they have found that there are some issues with it. This blog post from Fairfield's Buick GMC in Keene, NH will discuss the analysis of these evaluations and what we should do about them!
Most of us would agree that it is important to protect children in the car. Indeed, we sometimes see accidents with people and cars and most of these accidents involve children.
The LATCH system helps us do just that because it helps lower the risk for injuries to kids in an accident. However, although this system can help prevent injuries, there are still some safety concerns about it. The goal of this blog post is to discuss the safety concerns most commonly associated with LATCH systems and talk about how we can fix these problems.
One issue that has been raised with this system is the fact that most car seat manufacturers don't provide detailed information about how to use these anchor points.
