We are planning to purchase the Acura MDX (tomorrow!) and now I've discovered a possible problem... we currently are using the Britax RA rear facing for my 18 mo. son, and expecting our second child in 2 months. The original plan was to put the youngest child in the center seat, older son on the outboard passenger side.
I basically have two questions:
The LATCH is not offered for the center seat position (only outboard)-- but is it still safe (assuming a tight fit is achievable) to put the infant seat in the center, with my older son (also rear facing) in the outboard position?
Also, does anyone have personal experience with the MDX who would be able to indicate whether or not they felt that the Britax RA in a RF position reclines sufficiently when behind the passenger or driver seat? We THINK it looks reclined enough (though it does press up against the front seat), but we won't be able to have the car seat installation inspected until after we commit ourselves to a car purchase-- but it seems insane to think that an SUV would not be able to fit a car seat into it...
Wouldn't it be a bad thing in a car accident to have the pressure from the front passenger to crush into the car seat in the back seat-- or if something like that happens, is it such a bad accident that it really wouldn't matter?
Sorry for the length, but any help is greatly appreciated.
