What is the weight limit (child’s weight of
the child restraint) for using the LATCH anchorage
system to attach the child restraint?

65 lbs

(29.5 kg)

Use the LATCH anchorage system until the com-

bined weight of the child and the child restraint

is 65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether
anchor instead of the LATCH system once the

combined weight is more than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).

Can the LATCH anchorages and the seat belt

be used together to attach a rear-facing or

forward-facing child restraint?

Do not use the seat belt when you use the

LATCH anchorage system to attach a rear-

facing or forward-facing child restraint.

Can a child seat be installed in the center posi-

tion using the inner LATCH lower anchorages?

N/A

Can two child restraints be attached using a

common lower LATCH anchorage?

Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or
more child restraints. If the center position does

not have dedicated LATCH lower anchorages, use

the seat belt to install a child seat in the center

position next to a child seat using the LATCH an-

chorages in an outboard position.
