I finally did it.. after hours and hours of being online, reading posts, and reviews... bought a Marathon for DS from BRU! I installed it tonight, it's in there nice and solid with the latch, I impressed myself. I will have it checked by a tech soon, but for now I have a few questions..
1. Where is the best place to rear face tether in a Honda Accord CRV 2002 (if anyone knows!) I found a bar under the seat that I have it tethered to now, the bar goes from one side of the seat to the other.
2. I've read some posts saying that the MA fits in the back of a CRV and the front seats can be pushed all the way back. I'm not seeing this happen in my CRV. Could I have done something wrong? I have him behind the drivers seat, maybe I should switch the kids, just hope my very outspoken 2 year old won't mind! If the MA is on the passenger side, will I be able to see out the window for driving, esp if i use a sunshade for him???
3. Should the seat be 45 degrees (reclined)? I saw some posts with some suggestions on how to try to determinet the angle, but I didn't know if needed to be about 45 exactly..
4. I took off the Hugs, but the Hugs are the ones that aren't rounded (newer ones?)... how 'new' are the rounded ones and can i order them from Britax? I thought by buying the seat now I would get one w/ the better Hugs..
I hope DS (4 1/2 mos) will enjoy his first ride in his new 'throne'! Now I have to get one for DD!
TIA,,
