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 com-
bined weight of the child and the child restraint is
65 lbs (29.5 kg). Use the seat belt and tether an-
chor 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 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.
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 anchor-
ages are 17.7 inches (450 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 an-
chorages in an outboard position.
