Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH
What is the weight limit (child’ s weight + weight
of the child restraint) for using the LATCH anchor -
age 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?
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 an-
chorages if allowed by the booster seat manufac-
turer. See your booster seat owner’s manual for
more information.
Can a child seat be installed in the center posi-
tion using the inner LATCH lower anchorages?
No – 5 Passenger
N/A — 6 Passenger
No — 7 Passenger
7 and 5 Passenger: Use the seat belt and
tether anchor to install a child seat in the center
seating position.
Can two child restraints be attached using a com-
mon lower LATCH anchorage?
No
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.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back
of the front passenger seat?
Yes
The child seat may touch the back of the front
passenger seat if the child restraint manufacturer
also allows contact. See your child restraint own-
er’s manual for more information.
