LATCH and Tether Update, July 2002

Child Restraint Updates

The following is a list of the most signifi-

cant changes related to tethers and

LATCH that have occurred in the 18

months since the 2001 edition of Tether-

ing Child Restraints Including LATCH

was published.

The next edition of Tethering Child

Restraints is planned for spring 2003.

Please use this list to update your current

manual.*

BRITAX CHILD SAFETY

New address: 13501 South Ridge Drive,

Charlotte, NC 28273, U.S. and Canada:

888/427-4829, 704/409-1700, Fax 704/

409-1665, www.britaxusa.com.

Britax is now recommending that

lower LATCH anchors NOT be used with

their child restraints (CRs) that use a har-

ness for children over 48 pounds.

The Super Elite (FF harness CR up

to 80 pounds) must be tethered when used

by children 50–80 pounds. While the

tether comes with two hooks, only one is

needed, according to Britax. The Trav-

eler Plus, which goes up to 105 pounds,

also requires a single tether anchor from

50–80 pounds and attachment of two

tether hooks above 80 pounds. Clip one

hook into a tether anchor directly behind

the CR and the other to an adjacent an-

chor.

The “Versa-tether” retrofit kit (part

number S800-900), for Roundabout,

Elite, and Freeway models, includes both

the tether strap and the D-ring connector

strap. The connector strap is also sold

separately for $4. The Tether Anchor As-

sembly (part number M007200) is avail-

able for $1.95 for use with the Round-

about, Elite, and Freeway Plus. An ex-

tra tether strap can be ordered for the

Handle with Care (Perfect Fit Tether

H400300) for $20.

RECALL: Advantage Model

E9022 manufactured 3/5/01–7/26/01. The

tether bracket may separate from the CR.

Call 888/427-4829 to receive a metal ring

kit replacement kit.

COLUMBIA MEDICAL

LATCH Retrofit Kit is available at no

charge for the Columbia Model 2000 by

calling 800/454-6612.

DOREL JUVENILE GROUP

Dorel is the new corporate name for Cosco

Inc., Eddie Bauer, and SAFETY 1

brands. While the address is unchanged,

the new website address is www.djg.com

A LATCH Retrofit Kit (Model 02-

A01, $20) is available for use with Cosco,

Eddie Bauer, and Safety 1

infant and child

restraints with harnesses and manufactured

since 1995. LATCH is not to be used with

car beds, BPBs, or travel vests.

Cosco and Safety 1

recommend that

neither tether nor lower LATCH attach-

ments be used with BPBs.

The Safety 1

Forerunner, a

LATCH-ready restraint, used rearward (5–

35 pounds) and forward (22–40 pounds).

The same LATCH straps are used for both

rearward and forward installations. Cosco

Triad has been discontinued.

EVENFLO

SecureRight System Retrofit Kit

(LATCH) can be used with Evenflo child

restraints manufactured since September

1999. The kit cannot be used with the On

My Way base or with the Joyride.

A top tether may be used, if desired,

with BPBs, but the LATCH retrofit kit may

not be used.

E-Z-ON PRODUCTS

The Tether Strap Kit and the Tether An-

chor Kit now include a tether strap with a

regular hook at the end to use in vehicles

having factory-installed tether anchors.

The 86-Y Harness should not be used

with a separate booster seat.

FISHER-PRICE

Fisher-Price has been out of the child re-

straint business since spring of 2001 but

continues to provide customer support for

their products. The tether kit for the Futura

is still available for $15.95.

GRACO CHILDREN’S PROD-

UCTS & CENTURY PRODUCTS

Correction: the web address should be

“EZ LATCH Retrofit Kit”: A

Graco/Century retrofit kit for lower attach-

ments, part number 8405, fits many (but

not all) Century and Graco CRs manufac-

tured since September 1997. Check the

instructions; the kit does NOT work

with all models made since that time.

(For a list of model numbers, go to

www.saferidenews.com). Some models

have a base that is too wide to access

Vehicle Updates

Some vehicle manufacturers have gone

the extra mile in providing safety and con-

venience to accommodate child restraints

in their newer models. Some offer more

than the required number of LATCH lo-

cations. Although all vehicles have not

yet been checked, sedans consistently

have tether anchor provisions for all rear

seating positions. Minivans and SUVs,

however, vary greatly in their configura-

tions. Specific hardware installed may

depend on whether the vehicle has a bench

seat or captains chairs.

Extra tether anchors with LATCH

A lack of sufficient tether anchors can

pose a problem for parents who transport

three or more children, or who want the

children in the same seating row or in the

center seating position. Some model year

LATCH anchors.

An older Cen-

tury kit (part number

4025) can be used only

for Century child restraints manufactured

since September 1997. Its LATCH con-

nectors are too long for the belt path on

some Graco CRs.

The two kits can be distinguished by

color: the Century-only kit has gray con-

nectors, while the Graco/Century kit

(Model 8405) has shorter, red connectors.

A 40-inch tether extender (part num-

ber 4035) is available from Century for

$8 for use with any Century or Graco re-

straint that uses a tether.

Century allows use of both the tether

and lower LATCH attachments when a

combination restraint is used as a belt-po-

sitioning booster (BPB). The anchors help

stabilize the BPB but do NOT restrain the

child.

A 40-inch tether extender (part num-

ber 4035) is available for $8 for use with

any Graco or Century CR that uses a

tether.

SNUG SEAT

The Gorilla Postural Seat is LATCH-

compatible. A LATCH retrofit kit is avail-

able upon request at no charge.

SAFELINE KIDS

The Sit ’n Stroll 2003 will not allow tether

to be used in the rear-facing position.
