Help me out. I am in a facebook group that isn't about carseat, but they do occasionally come up. Many of the members are in Canada. The topic of latch came up as a mom was looking for a new seat for her 3.5 yr old. I mentioned that radians have superlatch and that is somehow is supposed to allow you to use latch past 40 lbs/car limits. As I am not very familiar with radians or superlatch I deferred to one member who is kind of considered the "go to" person for car seat info and she loves radians and always recommends them.
She said that the latch limit was 40lbs PER HOOK!! So 80 lbs per seat, which also matches up with Radians superlatch limits. She then said that considering that the seat weighs 29lbs, you could use latch for a child up to 50ish lbs for a total weight of seat and kid of 80lbs.
Is latch that different in Canada or is she waaay off on the 40lbs per latch hook? Just want to make sure that I have my info right before I say anything in the group, especially since it is a different country and I am not very familiar with superlatch.
