Maxi-Cosi Mobi?

So I think I have decided on a next seat for DS3 (should nothing else later and greater come out). I was debating between a Radian and the Maxi-Cosi Mobi. I think that the Maxi-Cosi Mobi will be the better option for DS3 and our car ('06 Sienna). We have been told that we should keep his sitting position at 90-90-90 and I think the Mobi is our best bet for that as it seems to give the most leg room while having the highest RF weight limit. I also don't ever want to turn him FF just because of fractures or surgery and splints. Any thoughts?

If we choose to go with the Mobi, would it be bad to get it sooner rather than later and use it for DS2 until DS3 needs it? We had to turn the Coccoro after he had a growth spurt and got too tall.

Also, our Sienna is an 8 passenger. The Mobi has 2 tether straps to be attached below the seat. The 8th center seat has 4 little bars in the floor in front of it where you can attach the seat itself to move it really far forward. Does that make sense? Would this be a suitable place to attach those tethers?

Do the 2 tethers attach to structural parts, or are they supposed to thread through the front seat as I've seen on some seats?

I believe you can use in-floor anchors (in cars that have them, such as Swedish) or supplied webbing that can wrap around the seat legs in front or the seat that it is on.

You can wrap the tethers around the seat that the car seat is on, or the seat in front. My tethers are wrapped around the front seat tracks.

The Mobi looks cool, I wonder if they are the same size as the maxi cosi priori?

Okay. If it's designed to wrap around seat legs, I don't know whether or not I would use those spots. They are designed for a different kind of force, KWIM? I'd probably inspect the way they attach to the vehicle before making a final decision, but my instinct would be to attach to the seat it's on instead.
