So DH & I were talking, and since he's selling his beater car, we'll have a little bit of money to use for (two new) car seats. There's no way around this so we need to get new seats.
Current seats:
Radian XTSL
Classic Marathon
Children in them:
3yo- 16" torso, ~35lbs (varies really but it's about right. she's due for a torso growth spurt also...)
15mo- 12" torso, 18lbs
Vehicles:
1995 Ford Explorer
-Obviously no lower anchors
-No top tethers, but there are two cargo hooks in the back.. can I use those?
-Can NOT use the passenger side 2nd row seat because of a torn seatbelt
-No third row
-Only the center lap belt locks- the one on the passenger side does not lock, and I'd prefer something with lockoffs for that position
-The passenger side seat has to be a FFing one. DH is very tall (taller than the front seatback) and in a crash hitting his head on the shell of a RFing seat would not be ideal. FFing only that position.
2002 Ford Explorer (No lower anchors, but has top tether anchors)
-seats need to be installed one outboard passenger side and one center. The center one cannot be too wide because the outboard driver's side 2nd row seatback needs to be able to fold down so people can get to the third row)
-Will need to puzzle with a now FFing Scenera (outboard driver's side) 1x/wk)
Any ideas?
