I have a Volvo S60 and I'm installing a Recaro Young Sport into one of the rear outboard positions and I have a few questions.
I'm using the outboard position because the Volvo only has the isofix lower fixtures in the outboard positions. The vehicle owner's manual does not specifically prohibit using the isofix connectors for the middle position, but I don't know if it's ok to use them (i.e the most inboard of each pair).
My problem is with the headrests. The headrests do not adjust for height, but they do fold forward. I can't fit the upper tether under the headrest, so I have it routed over the headrest.
My only other option is to use the middle rear position, but unless I can use the latch tethers I'd have to use a seatbelt install.
What's my best bet here? Keep it in the outboard position and looped over the headrest, or move to the middle position and either use the seatbelts or the lower tethers from each side. One thing to note is that I have the sport seats which means that the outside positions have very deep buckets. I can get a super tight install in the outboard positions, but in the middle the seat feels somewhat 'perched'.
