We are expecting baby 3 in January, and we are looking for an SUV that has at least one complete LATCH system in the third row (not just a top tether but also the lower anchors as well). Does any such SUV exist? No lower anchors on the Denali, the Expedition, or the Infiniti QX56. Or, alternatively, is using the seat belt as safe as using LATCH?
Also, we have considered putting all three car seats in a bench seat in the second row but we aren't sure if that is practical/feasible. Someone said they have three car seats in a Volvo XC90 because the seat in the middle of the second row with the baby's bucket seat slides forward, but that still seems impractical.
finally, I called my current vehicle mfr (Acura) to ask about a limit to its LATCH system and was told by a manager of customer service that there was no weight limit (just the weight limit for the car seat itself), but I read another post here that said 40 lbs was most car's limit for LATCH. Is that true?
Thanks!
