Radian XTSL install in '08 Nissan Altima?

Does anyone have any experience with this - specifically RF? I did search the successful install thread.

I'm also trying to find out if the car seat can be touching the back of the passenger/driver's seats? I've gone through the owner's manual with a fine tooth comb and the most I've found is "When sitting in the rear seat, do not hold onto the seatback of the front seat. If the side air bag inflates, you may be seriously injured."

I've installed it in the center, with the lap/shoulder belt (no Latch option for the center). It is overlapping/resting on the top of the passenger and driver's seats.

Once my registration is approved I think I can post pictures of the install?

Thanks!

Welcome.

The Radian allows touching and bracing against the front seats. But the passenger seat probably does not. I've not heard that wording before for a car, so I'm not quite certain what to make of it.

Here's what it looks like against the seats. There are no indicators on the dash that the passenger airbag is not functioning. I notice it's turned off (like it should be) when the passenger seat is empty provided I don't have my heavy laptop bag in it.

Would the dealer be a good source of info?

Thanks!

I'd ping a dealer with the question and your photos, but I'd guess it's ok. Can you slide your hand between the Radian and the seat? Can you set it more upright so that you can?
