My friend bought an 09 Pilot and was wondering where she can tether her blvd.?
Blvd is installed rf in the middle position of the back seat. Any suggestions and/or pictures would be great :)

I haven't looked for a point in the 09 Pilot, but I can show you what I found in my 02 Honda Civic and brother's 08 Honda Fit. They're essentially identical, so I think it's a Honda thing. Hopefully the Pilot will be similar.

This is the inner seat leg and track (passenger seat). That plastic piece at the back pops off pretty easily ...

and then you can wrap the D-ring around the leg below the track. It can be pretty greasy, especially closer to the track. You can leave the plastic piece on and wrap the D-ring around it, but it might slip up on to the track instead of staying below it. That's not a safety problem, just a greasy one.

make sure the tether comes down in basically an unobstructed straight line from CR to the d-ring. This a problem I had tethering in my mom's Camry and chose not to tether in the center position because of it... if it had been more than one car ride I would've put him RF outboard to tether.
It was my understanding that Britax said a straight line with nothing pushing it out of shape.
