I'm curious, so let's make a thread out of it.
I know the SnugRide/SafeSeat line from Graco requires the anchors to be standard width -- 280mm/11 inches/27.9cm. But I also couldn't find anything about it in the GN manual.
Their exact wording from a SnugRide:
So if the car allows it, does Graco allow it? It says no, but then it says "unless recommended in your vehicle owner's manual".
And then the MyRide manual:
IIRC, the Radian must also be standard width, too.
This is always something that has confused me (just in general -- seeing if a car seat allows borrowing of non-standard width). And if a manual doesn't state anything about it (like the Scenera -- I couldn't find anything in a quick flip through), do we assume that we do not borrow anchors?

LATCH is defined as anchorages 280mm (11 inches) between anchor points. Graco does not recommend using the LATCH system in the center position if the spacing is greater than 280 mm (11 inches) unless recommended in your vehicle owner's manual.
So if the car allows it, does Graco allow it? It says no, but then it says "unless recommended in your vehicle owner's manual".
And then the MyRide manual:
As a manufacturer, we do not recommend using the LATCH system in the center position if it exceeds 11 inches from the center of one LATCH anchor to the center of another LATCH anchor.
IIRC, the Radian must also be standard width, too.
