No the 2001 Chevy Tahoe is not equipped with the LATCH system for car seats. The LATCH system did not become standard in Chevy Tahoes until the 2002 models.
I believe the 2003 - and newer have the LATCH System. Check related link below... How the LATCH System Works on Car Seats
I have a 2001 Honda Accord. Yes, it does have the LATCH system. Great car. -- Well, I just tried to install a car seat in a 2001 Honda Accord half an hour ago and there is NO LATCH system. And this is a family car!! How utterly puzzling.

The booster with latch system improves the safety and functionality of child car seats by securely attaching the seat to the vehicle using the latch system, providing additional stability and reducing the risk of improper installation. This helps ensure that the child car seat stays in place during a crash, offering better protection for the child.
I've done a little research on this. My Advice; READ YOUR CAR MANUAL!!! If it says you only have LATCH for the two outer seats, that's all you have. You can not use the inner most LATCH hooks for the middle. According to a posting I found here's why; "My SUV only has the LATCH system on the side seats and not the middle seat. I spoke to the car safety officier for the police department ... he told me not to use the LATCH in the middle position (by using the side seats LATCH system) since my SUV is not equipped with it is because the LATCH is connected to the car frame and if we were in an accident and the frame of the car bent it could tear his seat in pieces. I was not aware that the LATCH was connected to the frame" From: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1VTXRFKRIM6XK If you can get a secure fit using the seat beat in the middle, this is the safest place. If not, use the LATCH on the passenger side.
LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. It is a system designed to make car seat installation easier and more secure by using designated anchor points in vehicles. LATCH includes two lower anchors for securing the base of the car seat and a top tether for additional stability. This system helps ensure that car seats are properly installed, enhancing child safety during travel.
I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo...It does NOT have a latch system.
To properly install and secure a Graco car seat using the latch strap system, follow these steps: Locate the lower anchors in your vehicle, typically found in the crease of the seat. Attach the latch connectors on the car seat to the lower anchors in the vehicle. Tighten the straps by pulling on the latch strap until the car seat is securely in place. Check for a tight fit by pushing and pulling on the car seat to ensure it does not move more than an inch in any direction. Double-check the installation by referring to the car seat manual and ensuring all steps have been followed correctly.
