Hello everyone! First I want to say, I love this board. I am getting sucked in quickly and LOVE reading and learning all you all have to offer. And I have a question!
My DD is just shy of 19 months, is 31 1/4 inches tall and weighs 24 lbs. She's been FF in her MA (I know, I know) for 4-5 months and I want to turn her back around. We have a 2004 Honda Pilot EX (no leather). I am having trouble finding a lower tether point or *anything* to wrap my D-ring around. I've taken off the plastic housing under the front seats and no luck under there either. The back of the center console is solid, there is no place to attach anything. There is a bar under the second row seat that is NOT the seat adjustment bar, and it is part of the frame rail of the seat. Could we wrap the D-ring around that? We're hoping that DD will tolerate RF again, we will see!! I would appreciate any help any one could offer. I'd be happy to take pictures if anyone would like some.
Thanks so much, Mandi

I know a few Pilot owners have had good luck popping the plastic cover off the seat legs and wrapping the d-ring around that.

I can't find the picture I posted, but I'll try to explain: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g111/cporemski/pilot_ma010.jpg

I wrapped the D-ring around the black metal post that you can see between the grey plastic and the rail, under the rail. It was out of the way for the front seat to move, and I didn't have to find a place to stash the plastic cover in the mean time. ;)

BTW, I stole that photo from the thread (http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=8970) linked above.
