Which seat in Santa Fe?

Dorothy · Aug 31, 2010

I might be helping SIL pick out a seat at the TRU trade-in event. She drives a Santa Fe. I'm sorry, but I don't know the year. I'd guess its an 05 or newer... Anyway, does anyone know how the MR, EFT65 or Momentum fits in this vehicle? Potentially even the CA? It might not work out for her to get away to try seats in her car, so she might be sending me solo. I thought somebody here might be able to tell me what fits best. TIA

my sister has a first model year Santa Fe and she has the EFTA. It fits very well both RF and FF.

I guess the EFT65 is the one I wondered most about bc of the knobs... My other question was whether or not it would be easier to load and unload from one or the other as baby (about 5 mo) gets older and bigger. Obviously, the lower profile CA might have an advantage here, so I was mainly wondering in regard to the other three. Thanks again!

DD is usually in a MR RFing in our Santa Fe & it fits great. I haven't tried it FFing yet, I plan to soon though since it's currently out of the vehicle anyway. Our back up seat is in there right now which is an EFTA65 and that fits well, the tabs on the knobs to loosen the harness are right up against the seat, but not difficult to use.
Here's a pic of DD in it:

I've had both seats installed center & outboard. I had to use a locking clip with the MR in the center due to tipping issues.

ETA: I have no issues loading/unloading DD. She usually climbs in herself, but I can get her in & out just fine in both seats.
