Notes on LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat
securing systems
& WARNING Risk of injury or death when
using the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint system and exceeding the per‐
missible weight limit
LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems
do not offer sufficient protection for children
weighing more than 49 lb (22 kg), who are
secured using the seat belt integrated in the
child restraint system.
For example, the child may not be restrained
correctly in the event of an accident.
If the child weighs more than 49 lb
#
(22 kg), only use LATCH-type (ISOFIX)
child restraint systems with which the
child is secured with the vehicle seat
belt.
Also secure the child restraint system
#
with the Top Tether belt, if available.
When installing a child restraint system, be sure
to observe the manufacturer's installation and
operating instructions and the instructions for
correct use of the child restraint system.
ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for
specially designed restraint systems. LATCH-
type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems are
approved in accordance with ECE R-44.
Only child restraint systems that have been
approved in accordance with ECE R-44 may be
attached to LATCH-type (ISOFIX) mounting
brackets.
