Which feature helps seat children securely in Toyota vehicles?

• A. Child Safety Locks
• B. LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
• C. Booster Seat Anchors
• D. Rear Seat Entertainment

Answer: (B)

LATCH provides dedicated anchors in the vehicle to secure child safety seats. Lower anchors are built into the seat bight, and the child seat’s lower attachments clip to them. A top tether anchor behind the seat holds the top of the seat in place. When installed correctly, this system keeps the seat from moving much in a crash and makes proper positioning easier than relying on a seat belt alone. In Toyota vehicles, you’ll find these anchors in the rear seating positions, and it’s important to follow both the vehicle manual and the child seat manual for weight limits and exact steps. Booster seats usually rely on the vehicle’s belt for securing the child, rather than LATCH, and items like rear seat entertainment don’t affect how a seat is secured. Door safety locks control whether a child can open a door from the inside, not how a seat is anchored.
