WARNING Risk of injury when using the
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint sys‐
tem and exceeding the permissible
weight
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems
do not offer sufficient protection for children
weighing more than 49 lb (22 kg) who are
secured using the seat belt integrated in the
child restraint system.
For example, the child may not be restrained
correctly in the event of an accident. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
#
If the child weighs more than 49 lb
(22 kg), only use LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint systems with which the
child is secured using the seat belt of
the vehicle seat.
#
Also secure the child restraint system
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
When installing a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for correct use
of the child restraint system.
Before every trip, make sure that the LATCH-type
(ISOFIX) child restraint system is engaged cor‐
rectly in both LATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting
brackets.
