My father has a 1995 Ford Truck which he has had a top Tethers anchor installed.
My Son will be 5 in June and is 42 lbs, 44 inches tall (that's a guess) Torso height is 15 inches I think.
I need a seat for my son to ride in the front seat of my dads truck on occasion.
I discussed the possibility of getting a Marathon because it has a built in Locking clip. (The seatbelts don't lock) This was decided against because of the price and Alex would only have about a year before he outgrew it in height. Then I would pass it down to his sister but then we would be left in the same position we are currently with out a seat for Alex to ride in the truck.
Alex rides in a Husky and Regent in mine and my husbands car. We were unable to get a rock solid install and it took forever to get an acceptable install. Any help if fixing this would be helpful.
I am looking for something easy to install so my parents will be willing to do it if needed. And that is a tad cheaper than the Marathon.
I am very interested in the Ride Safer Travel Vest. As this looks like an interesting fix and would be more useful in other situations. But I don't know much about it or how it installs. Is it safer than a regular Booster or the same? Are their any benefits to it beyond a regular booster.
The Safeguard Go seat also might be an option but can it install with a seatbelt? Dad's truck doesn't have latch. And I am assuming I would need a Locking clip with it (trying to avoid this).
Are there any other options that I don't know about?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Kim
