Child Safety Features

What’s the Benefit?

Helping to enhance protection of youngsters makes drivers feel much more confident on the road.

The Feature:

All Civic Hatchback models are equipped with a child seat-mounting system called LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) in the outboard rear seating positions.

• The LATCH system provides two lower anchors and an upper tether anchor.
• When used with a compatible child seat, the LATCH system provides attachment points between the child seat and the vehicle seat.
• A tether anchor is available for the remaining middle seating position in the rear seat (except Type R).
• All seat belts except the driver’s are equipped with a locking retractor that can be used to help secure any child seat.
• Both rear doors on hatch models are also equipped with child-proof door locks for added protection.
