My mom is getting married again for the 3rd time in Feb. My husband can not take off of work to go as they are behind on work becuase of the weather. He will need our truck. Its a 6 hr drive to where my mom lives. My grandma is going and the only car they have is the 2000 TransAm. I can not get the GN to intall right in that car I get no side to side movement but I do get front to back and not sure if its less then an inch or not. If I pull the base away from the bite of the seat it hangs over a small ammount and then its rock solid. With the GN hang over is not allowed. I do test it by standing in front of the seat both hands one on each side of the belt path and pull toward me. ( I have heard differnt ways to test I did post about this last yr and techs said that this is not an acceptable install.) I cant get it checked by a tech theres none in the area and even if I could get it checked and it still wasnt a proper install I would still have this issue.
I cant get another seat at this time (the only thing she could fit is the Frontier or possible the Truefit aand who knows if either will install anyway) as dh work as been slow becuase of the weather short paychecks plus a huge power bill not a good mix. I wanted a RSTV before the next time dd was in the TranAm but its not gonna happen.
At the time she will be e 4 and 8 months and shes is over 45 lbs. She has ridden in a Recaro Vivo for about 30 mins at the most with a locked belt and does fine. The belts on the TransAm are locking latch plate no way to lock the belt for booster use.
Would you go to the wedding and use the booster or not go at all.
Giving my dh the TransAm and us using the Truck is a no go dh needs the truck for work. Renting another car for 4 days is more then getting another seat.
