today was the first time I ever saw a seat installed FF in the middle, WITH LATCH,...... but the LATCH was attached where the top tethers go. No seatbelt in the picture. Just one of each LATCH strap connected to the top tether anchors behind the head rests of the outboard sides.:(

I swear, reading a manual isn't that hard......where do people come up with this stuff??:confused:

Yes, I had one of those too, only 2 kids, 2 Combo seats (one of them was for a 10 month old...), outboard. Each one was attached to it's respective top tether by LATCH... Uhm, I have no idea what she was thinking, but having known the woman wasn't very surprised. Most bizarre thing EVER.
 
I have seen that twice only on the outboard of the car, one latch where the seat tether was, the tether where the middle tether would go, and the outer latch strap on the other outboard tether.. and I have seen it done TWICE on two different occasions in two different cars.

Part of me wants to take my snugride base out to my car and attempt this... What the heck are these people doing? I cannot even fathom how that would work.. and how that would feel secure and not move all over the place!?! :thumbsdown:
...some people just don't even TRY!

I don't think so. It was an older Honda Civic. A '99 maybe? I know those only have a lap belt in the middle, Maybe they thought this would be safer?? I just can't imagine....
Well, everyone knows that latch is much safer than seatbelt. :rolleyes:
