Question Seats in 1998 Eagle Talon

Unregistered · Feb 16, 2011

Hello! I lurk here a ton and have learned so much about car safety. My 6yr old is in a Graco TB and GN. My almost 3yr old son is rf in a Radian.

My brother has a 1998 Eagle Talon with bench seat. They are horrible deep seats and I've tried to install DD TB before but I can't get it to sit correctly because of how deep and narror the vehicle seat seems to be. Anyone have any luck?

I would like my brother to be able to pick up my daughter in case of an emergency. I'm not opposed to purchasing another seat to have on hand so he is able to safely transport her.

TIA!
Kellie

Try a Vivo I have a 95 honda civic bucket seats its the only booster that fits. I have also had the Vivo in a 99 Transam with those seats as well. Oh and I have also fit a Harmony lite rider backless in those cars as well seems to be the only 2 boosters that have worked. 6 is a little young for backless but for a emergency for a short ride should be fine as long as there is head support to the tops of your dds ears.

Thank you for the suggestions. She is still harnessed in the GN in my husbands vehicle, a Marathon in my mom's and Maestro in Nana's. In my van she rides in a high-back TB.

I agree, I don't want her in a backless permanent but in case of an emergency I would be fine with her riding in a backless for a short distance. I will check out the Harmony, I believe my Walmart has them. If they don't work I'll check into the Vivo.

If I find a backless that fits can my brother keep it in his trunk in case he does ever need it?
