TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 INFINITI G35. WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A NEW SAFETY SEAT FOR HER 3 YEAR OLD, 42 LBS. SON, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO FIND OUT THE CORRECT WEIGHT LOAD FOR THE TETHERS AND ANCHORING LATCH. SHE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CORRECT WEIGHT NEEDED TO ATTACH THE LATCH SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE USING A CHILD SAFETY SEAT. SHE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HER SON IN THE FIVE POINT HARNESS SEAT, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT SEAT TO PURCHASE BECAUSE THE LATCH SYSTEM COULD ONLY HOLD UP TO 40 LBS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAD NO INFORMATION REGARDING THE ANCHOR, TETHERS, OR LOAD RATING FOR THE LATCH SYSTEM. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.
