LATCH limit for 2007 Saturn Aura (GM)?

[irishgator1]

What is the current LATCH limit for a 2007 Saturn (which is a now-defunct GM car) and what will it be in 2014? I have a R100.

Thanks.

The LATCH installation weight limit is 65 lbs. total combined weight of the child plus weight of the carseat for all GM models now and going forward. P.S. The LATCH manual lists a weight of 23 lbs. for the Diono R100 if you're needing that figure to determine if the combined total weight of your R100 plus the weight of your child is 65 lbs. or more.

Thanks. If I remember correctly, the 100 is 22lbs? My kid is 34-35lbs so I would have about 8 more lbs to go?

The R100 is 23lbs, so 42lbs child weight.

Thanks! I'm switching my 3.25 year old to FFing and just wanted to confirm limits. He technically has .25" left until he outgrows it, but FF works better in this car and I (mostly) feel comfortable with it.

You probably already know this but for those reading along... make sure to use the Safestop for forward facing which is required because he's under 40lbs
