Child Safety

We know that your family’s safety is crucial at Seminole Chevrolet Buick GMC, so we offer you this advice on installing your child’s safety seat. This important info can help you feel confident while navigating traffic around Seminole, OK.

Fortunately, today’s vehicles and safety seats come with the LATCH system. This stands for Low Anchors and Tethers for Children. Due to this system, modern safety seats are easier to install, and they offer more protection.

You will begin installing your child’s seat by matching its base to the low anchors in your vehicle’s second seating row. These metal bars are found in the crack between the row’s upper and lower portions. Since the 2003 model year, every consumer vehicle sold in the United States has two or more pairs of low anchors. Once you locate yours, anchoring into them is easy and self-explanatory. Next, attach the upper section of the safety seat to your vehicle’s tether strap. Your vehicle’s manual will help you locate and operate this strap. When everything is properly attached, you’ll be ready for the road.
