Aloha,
I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma double cab and Combi Connection seat
base.
This vehicle has no rear center position Latch anchors (only outboard)
and the seat belt installation is a little shaky, even with a few
twists to shorten the female buckle and addition of locking clip
(needed to shorten buckle to clear side of base). I have an appointment
with a tech but it won't be for a few weeks. My wife's due date is
sooner than that, unfortunately. Retailer has politely refused to check
installation for liability reasons. Fire stations here don't do it. I know...
I should've started earlier. My bad.
I would REALLY like to have the seat in the center position.
Question: Can I use the center seat belt AND the two inner Latch
anchors? As long as I connect the seat belt first, the seat and Latch
belts seem to function independently of eachother (they don't keep
eachother from tightening). And the installation seems very secure;
much better than the seat belt alone.
I've heard (read) this question asked before but the answer (use only
the seatbelt or outboard Latch positions) seemed to avoid the obvious
possibility that two is better than one. And yes, I do understand that using
the inner Latch anchors alone is a no-no.
Thanks for any help and/or advice!
