Question Foonf and LATCH ?

I'm conflicted about the Foonf. I want one and love the idea of rigid latch but our cars only allow use of LATCH up to 48 lbs (seat and child) -- at least this is what I was told by the mfrs. If the FF Foonf is already 32lbs., how can I LATCH my 33lb child, let alone up to the 65lb limit of the seat. Or am I missing something?

(please let me know if this was already discussed. I assumed it would have been but my searches of threads turned up fruitless.)

I thought that the 48lbs was child only, not seat included?

I've heard here that it's child only but when I inquired with Ford last year, I was told it was combined weight. IDK what to do... Another clear as mud on car seats I guess.

I spoke with Vera about this last week. She said clek is recommending latch use until the child is 40 pounds, then suggests a seatbelt install.
