Amber, no issue. I install our XT by seatbelt.
And unless either the vehicle or carseat manufacturer prohibits the use of a rf carseat in the position with the fold down armrest, then it's ok to install it there.
I'm wondering why I was told differently by the car seat tech then?
Unfortunately, a lot of techs aren't up to date and don't have all the information. It's actually impossible TO know everything there is to know about all of the carseats and all of the vehicles out there. This is why we have manuals.
The tech was incorrect, in your situation, but it used to be that Evenflo did not permit installing a RF restraint in front of the flip-down armrests. It sounds like that tech may have heard that somewhere along the way, and somehow applied it to all carseats.

So I can install my Marathons RFing in the center position in both my vehicles? And the Radians as well?
(I don't have an owners manual for the Sonata...bought it used. I'll check the Allure's tomorrow.)
No fibs, it works in the centre rf in a KIA Magentis with seatbelt
(I don't have an owners manual for the Sonata...bought it used. I'll check the Allure's tomorrow.)
Even used vehicles are supposed to include their manual, I actually thought that was law. But anyhow, you can order one from a dealership - they're not that expensive but IMO, very important to have.
Or you can try contacting them through their website: Hyundai Canada to get one.
Good luck!
