LATCH question.

HONEYhas3

CPST Instructor
American 2007 Ford Focus and a BLVD. Can you use LATCH in the center??

the Focus manual says this:

The anchors on both sides of the
center of the rear seat are provided
primarily for child seats at the
outboard seats and are further apart
than the pairs of lower anchors for
child seat installation at other seats. A child seat with rigid LATCH
attachments cannot be installed at the center rear seat. A child seat with
LATCH attachments on belt webbing can be used at the center rear seat
unless a child seat at an outboard rear seat is attached to one of these
lower anchors. Install a child seat onto the lower anchors at the center
rear seat ONLY IF the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the
child seat can be installed to anchors that are spaced up to 450 mm
apart.


Searched through the BLVD manual and didnt see anything that said you cant.

The seat and car were taken to a CPST and the tech said you couldnt do it.

Thoughts??
