Hello!

I can't seem to find the Latch weight limit for my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. I have read the manual on Latch several times and don't see it. DD is 34 lbs in her Nautilus and I don't know if I need to change her to using the seatbelt to anchor the seat or not.

Anyone know or know where I can find it?

Thanks!!

Dodge is 48 pounds (child weight), so you have a looooong time to go with the lower anchors. Always use the top anchor whether you are using the lower anchors or a seatbelt to install it :)

Fantastic! Thanks :) Someone told me that some are as low as 35. That's great. Where did you find that info?

THere are none as low as 35. Most are either 40 or 48. Some are higher and some defer to the child restraint manufacturer.

The latch limit can be found in the driver's manual :) It's also published centrally in the LATCH manual.

I think it's quite uncommon for there to be a LATCH limit listed in the manual, and the OP said she looked for it, so I figured it must not be there ;).

I got my info from the LATCH manual, the publication of www.saferidenews.com :)

I have PDF versions of the owner's manual for all my current vehicles including a 2008 T&C which makes it easy to search for such things. In fact, I don't even have the hard copy yet for out van. Nowhere does it mention the lower anchor weight limit. There is vague terminology suggesting hinting 40#, but it is not stated as such a limit. Seems like most weight limits are common among manufacturers, so most Chrysler (Dodge and Jeep) are 48#, Hondas are 40#, etc.
