Frequently Asked Questions About Installing Child Restraints With LATCH
What is the weight limit (child's
weight + weight of the child re-
straint) for using the LATCH anchor-
age system to attach the child re-
straint?
Can the LATCH anchorages and the
seat belt be used together 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 anchorage?
Can two child restraints be attached

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).
Do not use the seat belt when you
use the LATCH anchorage system to
attach a rear-facing or forward-facing
child restraint.
Use the seat belt and tether anchor to
install a child seat in the center seat-
ing position.
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.
