Hello,
I have 2 sons with autism who won't sit well in booster seats. Could I use a Kid Y Harness which needs to attach to the tether point? the harness company said yes, but I don't know what the weight limit for the tether is.
Thanks in advance,
Alice

The maximum weight for LATCH anchors in Hondas is 40 LBS for forward facing children if the CR (Child Restraint) is currently installed with the tethers as well as the lower anchors.

Anything above you should be using the vehicle's own restraints.

I would also refer that you should ask over at;

Car Seat.Org - Carseat, Vehicle & Child Passenger Safety Forums

So a Special need trained tech can better help.

Some kids do not like the Y harness. I know they are not in position to bargain but it could really be a burden for them.

Plus, if they do not stop whining about how "painful", or should we say restricting it is, you will be the one to suffer the whole trip.

I have been using those belt guards to keep the "pain" away and keep them busy while looking at the designs. Does the job for me.
