Ram 1500/2500/3500: Lower Anchors And Tethers For Children (LATCH)
Restraint System
![Occupant Restraints](images/books/1963/index.32.png)
Your vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower
Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. The LATCH system
has three vehicle anchor points for installing LATCH-equipped
child seats. There are two lower anchorages
located at the back of the seat cushion where it meets the
seatback and one top tether anchorage located behind the
seating position. These anchorages are used to install
LATCH-equipped child seats without using the vehicle's
seat belts. Some seating positions may have a top tether
anchorage but no lower anchorages. In these seating
positions, the seat belt must be used with the top tether
anchorage to install the child restraint. Please see the
following table for more information.
