LATCH Laws

Has anyone heard about a new Texas law that will require LATCH equiped seats? I have heard that they will be required.

Re: LATCH Laws

I haven't heard anything about states requiring LATCH seats. The federal government has mandated that as of September 1, 2002, LATCH is required to be on all car seats manufactured on or after that date. Vehicles manufactured on or after 9/1/02 must also have LATCH anchors; these have been phased in over the past couple of years, so some 2000-2002 models already have them.

LATCH-equipped car seats can be installed with regular vehicle seat belts, so you can still continue to use them in any vehicle that can have a car seat installed in it.

For more information on LATCH, visit the link at the top of the screen.
