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 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 anchorages if allowed 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 an-
chorages?
No – 5 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 common lower LATCH anchorage?
No
Never “share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints. If the center posi-
tion 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 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 in-
formation.
Can the head restraints be removed?
Yes — 5 Passenger
No — 6 Passenger
Yes — 7 Passenger
