Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child re- straint) for using the LATCH anchor- age system to attach the child re- straint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined 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? No Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH anchorage system to attach a rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint. Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH anchorages if allowed by the booster seat manufacturer. See your booster seat owner’s manual for more information. Can a child seat be installed in the center position using the inner LATCH lower anchorages? Yes You can install child restraints with flexible lower anchors in the center position. The inner anchorages are 16 inches (400 mm) apart. Do not install child restraints with rigid lower an- chors in the center position. 212 SAFETY |
