We have a Graco Safe Seat Infant car seat and the primary base is installed in the rear center of my Nissan Sentra.
We have an extra base for use in my husband's car which is a 95 Jetta. In the back seat it has a middle section b/t the seats that you can fold down/forward to rest your arms on.
We were hoping to use the Jetta to drive 6+ hrs to VT this weekend for a week long vacation - and would prefer to install the seat base in the center of the back seat.
I installed our extra base in his car the weekend before last and found that it was really hard to get it tight enough to prevent the part of the seat base against the seat back from moving < 1in from side to side.
I found that the only way to get it tight enough it seemed to either :
1) be at a slight angle to one side b/c of the buckle area which caused the seat to lean to the side
or
2) that is was so tight against the back of the seat that the middle section was moving or coming forward a bit at the top.
Anyone have success with center installation in an older Jetta?
I am not able to take his car to the seat inspection placeas they have limited hours,......
Will we have to install the base on the reat passanger side?
Thanks!
