I just found a PDF of the 2007 Odyssey manual and confirmed a discussion about not hanging heavy items, putting heavy items in the pocket, or pushing/pulling against the seat - all for the front passenger seat ONLY. Nothing specifically in regards to child restraints there, but obviously a 35lb child plus seat braced against it would be adding weight. I'm not concerned, though, about the *barely* touching of my KeyFit onto the grab bar on the back of the seat. It's not adding weight to it in any substantial form.
As for bracing versus touching, touching would be any contact. Bracing is when the front seat is supporting the restraint and/or preventing it from moving.
