A Look at LATCH Evaluations

Our team here at Genesis of Annapolis knows that ensuring that your children are safe is probably at the top of your list if you're a parent, grandparent, or other caregiver who has to drive in the car with a child. The LATCH system in a car is used to anchor car seats down so that the seat will stay in place in the event of an accident in Annapolis, MD. The LATCH evaluation is what is used to ensure that all vehicles have LATCH systems that are safe and easy to use.

LATCH is the shortened version of Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children, and the evaluation determines how easy it is to use in each vehicle. The higher the score for a car, the easier it is to use.

On the other hand, you should also know that just because a LATCH system has a high rating doesn't mean that the overall safety of the vehicle is equally high. Both systems are judged separately.
