IMPORTANT:
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH anchors.
Use the vehicle belt (not LATCH) for installations with children who weigh
more than the vehicle LATCH anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by
the vehicle manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg.) child is the vehicle
LATCH anchor limit. Only use the vehicle’s designated tether anchor for the
chosen seating position. Do not connect more than one LATCH anchor or
tether hook to a single vehicle anchor.
