    Has anyone had problems getting a secure install in a Mazda 3 (it is a 2004) using the long belt path on a Frontier 85? Is there any way that I can make it easier? My daughter is 6, 47lbs and 46in. She has been in my SUV using LATCH (it has a LATCH weight limit of 48lbs) and today we just...

    Question LATCH weight limit in Trailblazer?

    OK, I have read through the entire child restraint/LATCH section of my vehicle manual and I CANNOT find a LATCH weight limit. Does that mean I go by the LATCH weight limit of the Carseat? My vehicle is a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer and the carseat is a Frontier85. ETA: Right now I have her FR85...

    Question Trailblazer LATCH. Is this ok?
