We are new parents and our daughter is coming anytime. They are inducing me Tuesday if she doesn't come by then. We started with an Evenflo Discovery but it was such a pain we just took it back and got a Graco Alano Travel System with a Snugride 22?
So now I need help with installing this. Instead of the middle seat, we will put it behind the passenger seat where we can use the LATCH. I have a 2007 Kia Optima EX V6 I am putting it in but we also got a 2nd base for my husband's truck which is a 2007 Dodge Ram. I have leather seats so my question is, I know mats are a no no, but what about a towel? Would it cause more harm than good if I laid a towel flat under the base? my seats are heated and cooled and have little holes everywhere so any thing sharp can catch in them and I'm scared it will stretch a hole in one and therefore eventually rip the seats. My mom also picked up a base for her car and she has a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Hardtop Convertible with leather. My husband's truck has one of the craziest latch setups I have ever seen and we read the manual for the seat and the truck and it's all french to us, and my mom's latch is in her trunk?
So any advice and tips for those 2 are definitely appreciated. The carseat came with a headrest and the base is adjustable with a level indicator which has taken alot of stress out of the situation.
I think we need help still though. We want her to be as safe as possible obviously.
