Latch Limit questions

I drive a 06 T&C and i know the limit is 48 lbs. I know for most seats that is without the carseat and just the child fully clothed. My concern is what about a seat like the regent, those seats are so darn heavy, do you think that would affect the latch limit. We are no where near that now, since dd is only 36 lbs but should i just switch to seat belt around 45 just to compensate, or does it take that into account.

Here's a very informative thread on the LATCH limit issue...you might want to look it over for some interesting background on this question. Me? I believe there is plenty of strength in those bars plus the top anchor to be fully comfortable using it to the full 48 pound limit (consider that Britax has standard LATCH bars in their crash benches and has put a 48 pound crash test dummy..if not one of the heavier ones... in the seat and crashed it...if their LATCH bars were failing, they surely would have put a lower weight limit to be used with the LATCH, I think).
