Latch and Post Hardware- The latch buckle was designed as a replacement for conventional clip buckles, which can only function in tandem with webbing and are clunky and loud. The latch buckle can attach anywhere the post is mounted. And once it is latched, it locks. Even though the hardware has many uses and applications, it was designed specifically with baby carriers in mind. Link to the Infantino Go Forward Carrier to see how the ingenious application works.
