LATCH generally makes carseat installation easier, but why is it that the center seating position in the back seat doesn’t often have a dedicated set of lower anchors? Does that mean you can’t use LATCH to install your carseat? What about borrowing the lower LATCH anchors to install the carseat? What are the rules?

An anti-rebound bar will catch the carseat as it’s rotating into the back of the vehicle seat and help stabilize motion caused by a side impact (if there’s one), dissipating the rest of the energy that’s left. Is it a must-have feature?

A Load leg is an energy management feature that limits downward rotation toward the front of the vehicle. Eliminating the downward rotation by using a load leg means the child stays down in the seat, instead of sliding up, and there’s less potential for injury.
