LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. It's also known as ISOFIX in Europe and LUAS (Lower Universal Anchorage System) in Canada.

LATCH is a way to secure a child restraint – rear-facing or forward-facing – to the vehicle without using the vehicle’s safety belts. Please note that BOTH the vehicle and the child restraint must have their respective components of the LATCH system in order to use it properly.
