Just curious if anyone knows of any documented cases of LATCH failures in crashes?
With LATCH weight limits being fairly ambiguous for some cars, like Honda. I'm sure there are plenty of kids riding in 5 point harnesses with LATCH way beyond the official limits. My 2011 Honda Pilot says absolutely nothing about LATCH weight limits, and it is only because of extensive reading that I'm even aware of Honda's 40 lb child limit. I am aware of the 65 lb restraint + child revisions for 2014, but I would love to know realistically at what point would LATCH failure be a true concern.
Disclaimer: I would never consider using LATCH beyond the stated limits. I am just curious about the physics and real world data if available.
