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 lb (29.5 kg)
Use the LATCH anchorage system until the combined weight of
the child and the child restraint is 65 lb (29.5 kg). Use the seat
belt and tether anchor instead of the LATCH system once the com-
bined weight is more than 65 lb (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 sys-
tem to attach a rear-facing or forward-facing child restraint.
Booster seats may be attached to the LATCH anchora ges if
allowed by t he booster seat ma nufacturer. 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 from the outboard seating positions?
Two Door Models – No Center Seating
Position
Four Door Models – Yes
Four Door Only: You can install child restraints with flexible lower
anchors in the center position. The inner anchora ges are
18.5 inches (484 mm) apart. Do not install child restraints with
rigid lower anchors in the center position.
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 position.
Can the rear-facing child restraint touch the back of the front pas-
senger seat?
Yes
The child seat may touch the back of the front passenger seat if
the child re str aint manufacturer also allows contact. See your
child restraint owner’s manual for more information.
Can the rear head restrai nts be removed?
Two Door Models – No
Four Door Models – Yes
Two Door Models — None
Four Door — The center head restr aint can be removed if it inter-
feres with the installation of the child restraint.
For further information, see
page 63.
NOTE:
If the folding, non-adjustable head restraint interferes with the installation of the child restraint, the head restraint may be folded and the child seat installed in front of it
(Two-Door Models).
