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 anchorage 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 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 anchorages if al-
lowed by the booster seat manufacturer. 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 anchor-
ages?
No Use the seat belt and tether anchor to install a child seat in the
center seating position.
Can two child restraints be at-
tached using a common lower
LATCH anchorage?
No Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child re-
straints. 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 re-
straint 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 owner’s manual for more information.
