Child Seat Functions
Using the Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS)
The Lower Universal Anchorage System or LUAS, is a system available
on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle seat belt installation
methods. See pages 10 and 11 for LUAS components on this child seat.
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and tether
anchors in a vehicle. Check your vehicle owner's manual to learn if it is
equipped with LUAS, the maximum weight rating for the lower anchors, and
for information on the lower anchor locations and seating positions available
for use with this child seat.
Standard vehicle seat spacing between LUAS anchors is 27.9 cm (11 in.).
This child seat can be used in a seating position with up to 50.8 cm (20 in.) of
space between the LUAS anchors if the vehicle manufacturer allows.
