We will be traveling next month and my inlaws will most likely be getting a scenera for us to use for DS who will be 17 months RF. He will be about 23-25lbs then. How easy is it to install in most cars or vans. They own a Honda oddessy van (touring model) year 2008 ?? (not sure but it is fairly new!!) DH will most likely be the one to install so I need to be sure he can do it OK. He knows I like them tight :D
I'll have to find out the make of my BIL car too. We will be in that car while there also.
Thank you for any advice!!

The trick is to push back instead of down. I don't mind it at all, but if you put weight on the seat down, you'll have it sitting upright, but if you push back, you'll get it super tight in the recline mode.

There's a good chance you will need at least one pool noodle, so make sure you have one handy:)

Does anyone have any pictures with one installed RF with a noodle so I can show DH

:yeahthat:
I also stand behind the shell and use my body to push it back while I push down with 1 hand on the Scenera's foot. I use my other hand to pull the tail back through the belt path (pull back the cover).

I have 1 that is buckled in the seat while it's being stored, it's the only way I get a decent recline.
