Lower anchor weight limit - anchors vs seatbelt

Hi! I have a 40lb 4.5 yr old forward facing in a Diono Radian RXT (26lbs from what I've read). I saw the guidelines about it being unsafe to tether to the lower anchors if child + car seat exceeds 65lbs. Should I thread seatbelt through instead and use seatbelt only or use seatbelt in addition to the anchors?

Thanks!

Listen to Wendy! :)
When you redo the installation you can stow away the clips you had used for the lower latch anchors into their special receptacles on the backside of the Radian. That way they won't be all loose and messy. Then reinstall with the seatbelt and reconnect the top tether anchor.
Let us know if you have any troubles!

Also now that your child if 40 lbs, remove the "safe stop" from the back of the harness and stow it also on the backside of the radian. The safe stop is no longer used at 40 or more pounds.
