Lower anchorages in Honda Odyssey

Hi,
I have read that some cars have an upper weight limit for using the LATCH anchorages (48 lbs). I went through my owners manual of my Odyssey -01 and it did not say anything about weight limits. Does anybody know anything more?

I have contacted Honda-

Based on the federal motor vehicle standard (FMVSS 225), we assume lower anchors on all cars can handle at least a 48 pound child plus the weight of a child restraint. That was the load used in many of the testing procedures to develop the standard. It is possible that auto manufacturers may have designed in margins above that to allow for heavier kids, but this could vary from brand-to-brand and model-to-model.

So far, I have been unable to get an answer from Honda about the Odyssey. To get something you would trust in writing is likely to be nearly impossible with most manufacturers:-(

I hope to speak to a Honda representative at an upcoming conference or the auto show. If I get a definitive answer, I will post it here.
