Question 05 Civic install

I was wondering if anyone has installed a MA or Nauti in a 2-door 05 Civic? It will be outboard. I won't have time to play with the seats. My DD2 is 3 years old, 42.5 inches tall and weighs 43 lbs if that helps.

I haven't tried in a 2 door, but I have installed a number of seats in an '01 Civic sedan and an '07 Civic sedan. I think the '05 would be more like the '01? I have had the MA and the Nauti in the '07 but not in the '01, but I have never had any particular issues with any of the FF installs in either (or the RF install, either, I believe, aside from lack of front pass leg room for some seats).

Remember that you cannot use latch over 40lbs in a Honda, so it would be a seatbelt install. The MA has lockoffs but since your seatbelts lock when you pull them all the way out of the retractor, there shouldn't be an issue either way. You may need to remove the headrest to get a better fit (store it in the trunk in case you ever need it).

Thank you very much for the tips especially LATCH reminder. I have a 48 lb LATCH limit in my van. I used the MA and got it installed in 5 minutes. It wasn't my car but a employee/family friend. A good thing nobody had to use the front seat. It was pushed all the way forward. Thanks:)
