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 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 system once the combined weight is more
than 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
Can the LATCH anchorages
and the seat belt be used to-
gether 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.
Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH anchor-
ages if allowed by the booster seat manufacturer. See
your booster seat owner’s manual for more information.
Can two child restraints be
attached using a common
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 anchorages in an outboard posi-
tion.
Can the rear-facing child re-
straint touch the back of the
front passenger seat?
Yes The child seat may touch the back of the front passen-
ger seat if the child restraint manufacturer also allows
contact. See your child restraint owner’s manual for
more information.
Can the head restraints be
removed?
Yes Center position only may be removed.
