Question 3 across in 03 Odyssey???

mamabearof3 · Jan 26, 2011

Does anyone know if the Parkway SGs will fit 3 across in the 3rd row of a 2003 Odyssey? Or 2 Parkways and a HB Turbobooster?

Thanks,
Stacy, chief monkey wrangler to 4

Bump

I am looking for a booster combo that would work for my 7yo, 5.5yo eventually and playdate friends. I have the captain's chairs already filled. Would 2 Parkway SGs and a LBB fit???

Thanks,
Stacy

Does the 2003 have the two part center seat belt that comes from the ceiling like the 2002? It isn't very good for boosters.

Yes it does. Does that mean I can never have a playdate over? Crap! Moving one of the girls back there for a quick trip here and there sucks and is just not feasible.

Well, 'isn't very good' for boosters doesn't mean 'not approved' for boosters. If anything, you could try the Harmony Lite Rider from Walmart, it's narrow, but hopefully the flair at the armrests fits between the other seats.
Or if you can wait till April, the BubbleBum will probably work... http://thecarseatlady.blogspot.com/2010/12/bubble-bum-most-innovative-backless.html

Thanks! Guess there are no play dates until April.

Generally, what are the issues with the seat belt that comes from the ceiling?

Thanks,

It's just that the lapbelt is a manual (pull the tail to tighten, tip to loosen, like an airplane belt) lapbelt, so it has to be set for the person sitting there... an adult has no trouble tugging the tail to tighten and loosen it, but a kid has a hard time, especially working around a booster armrest), and then the shoulderbelt hooks into that, so it's just more unwieldy next to booster armrests in general. The manual doesn't prohibit booster use, and it's not an unsafe type of seatbelt by any means, but it takes a lot more proactive work on mom's part to make sure the belts are all tightened and buckled properly. (My 11 yo dd used to go into a fit of tears when confronted with that belt, so we had a few lessons on how it works and now she's cool with it, finally!).

I have an 05 and there is very little room between our SG and TB in the third row. Enough for a child in a RSTV, but not enough room for another seat. Even buckling the RSTV can be a challenge.
