I own a 1995 Nissian Altima. The owners manual mentions that there is provision for adding a top tether for a car seat.
My quesitons:
#1 Is there a way to have my car retrofitted with the latch system? Or should I just use the center (lap) belt, and install the top tether?
#2 Whenever I installed the car seat in the center belt, rear-facing, the seat-belt latch is positioned right where my daughter will sit. I can adjust it so that it is outside the seat, but it loosens the seat. The car-seat manual says that "one to two inches of side-to-side movement is normal." I can move the seat about an inch side-to-side, but when I put my 6ft., 250lb frame into it, I can move it more. Is this still normal?
We purchased a Cosco Tourina (sp?) seat from Wal-Mart.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
