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.
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.
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.
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.
The 2nd row head restraints on bench and the center head restraint in the 8
passenger vehicle can be removed if they interfere with the installation of the
child restraint. 2nd row Stow 'n Go head restraints are not removable. The
3rd row center head restraint is removable in all vehicles, but the 3rd row
outboard head restraints are not removable
