Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH
What is the weight limit (child’s weight
+ weight of the child restraint) for us-
ing the LATCH anchorage system to
attach the child restraint?
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 anchorage 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 re-
straint?
No Do not use the seat belt when you use the LATCH an-
chorage system to attach a rear-facing or forward-
facing child restraint.
Can a child seat be installed in the cen-
ter position using the inner LATCH
lower anchorages?
Yes You can install child restraints with flexible lower an-
chors in the center position. The inner anchorages are
17.7 inches (450 mm) apart. Do not install child re-
straints with rigid lower anchors in the center position.
