Frequently Asked Questions About 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
poundsUse the LATCH anchorage system until the com-
bined 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.
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 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 restraint touch the back of
the front passenger seat?Yes The child seat may touch the back of the front pas-
senger seat if the child restraint manufacturer also
allows contact. See your child restraint Owner ’s
Manual for more information.
Can the head restraints be removed? Yes All adjustable head restraints may be removed.
Center Seat LATCH
To install a child restraint in the center position using the
LATCH anchorages, attach the lower hooks or connectors
on the child restraint to the two inner bars in the row. If
LATCH is used for the center seating position, do not use
the lower anchorages in the outboard positions.
If a child restraint installed in the center position blocks the
seat belt webbing or buckle for the outboard position, do not
use that outboard position. If a child seat in the center
position blocks the outboard LATCH anchors or seat belt, do
not install a child seat in that outboard position.
WARNING!
Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than
one child restraint. Please refer to “Installing The
LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System” for typical
installation instructions.
Connecting The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower
Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt)
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always
secure the top tether strap, up to the tether anchor weight
limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower
anchors or the vehicle seat belt.
1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to
install the child restraint to find the tether anchorage. You
may need to move the seat forward to provide better
access to the tether anchorage. If there is no top tether
anchorage for that seating position, move the child
restraint to another position in the vehicle if one is
available.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for
the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your
vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints,
raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the
tether strap under the head restraint and between the two
posts. If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass
the tether strap around the outboard side of the head
restraint.

3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the
top tether anchorage.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child
restraint manufacturer ’s instructions.
WARNING!
•An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make
sure the tether strap does not slip into the opening
between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the
strap.
