Weight Limit on LATCH? 2004 Toyota Matrix

[yellowdogmom]

My car is a Toyota Matrix (2004) and I've searched online and in the owner's manual - no mention anywhere of a weight limit for using LATCH. Could this mean there is no weight limit for it??? DO all cars have a weight limit on LATCH?

TIA!

I'd go with the carseat manual and assume a 48 pound lower anchor limit. Only a few cars have 40 pound lower anchor limits, and I don't recall the Matrix being one of them (retrofitted VW's and Audi's are 40... Subarus are 60...for the rest we pretty much assume 48 if there's no limit listed in the manual).

I thought I read somewhere here about the Honda Odyssey being a 40 lb limit as well? I didn't find that anywhere in my Honda manual though and since DD is about 31 lb, I haven't called Honda or done anymore research on it.

I hear that from place to place, too... and choose to ignore it, if it's not in my manual (such a wild rebel, I am...)
