Latch limits for Chrysler T&C 2005

[baseballmom3]

I cannot find it anywhere. DS is 40pds and in a Marathon. I am trying to find the limits for the Vehicle to see if it goes above the 40 pds. I have read the entire manual and cannot find those limits. Does anyone know what they are? Or where I can find it?

Chrysler vehicles have a LATCH limit of 48 lbs.

Here's a list of limits by vehicle manufacturer compiled by safe ride news...

Also, Safe Ride News continues to recommend that you use the top tether anchor beyond the vehicle manufacturer's stated weight limit because the overall benefits of top tethering are considered worth it. So although you will have to switch to a seatbelt install at 48 lbs, you should still use the top tether.

Here's their detailed explanation:

48lbs for both lower and top tether anchors per the LATCH manual put out by SafeRideNews.

It will not be listed in your vehicle owner's manual.

Okay. Thank you. I was hoping that is was 45 or 48pds. That gives us some more time. Off to read the links.
