After a vehicle breakdown yesterday one hour into a 2000 mile round trip vacation drive, we've borrowed my parents 2010 Subaru Forester for our trip.
I was able to get our CCO RFing in the center with the swedish install (i think that's what it's called, with the shoulder belt routed behind the CCO). it's solid, compresses where it should, less than 1 inch laterally and foward/back at belt path.
DS1 (5.5 yo, 47#) will ride FFing in an Radian XTSL, driver's side.
I'd like to get my sub-30# 2.5 yo RFing in our other XTSL passenger side; it fits, but is maybe 1-2 mm away from touching the front seat. My question is: can the radian touch the front seat at all? If it can, can it brace?
If it can't touch, would you FF the 2.5 yo (with safe stop, obviously) for a 2-week, 2000 mile drive, or would you move the front seat so far forward as to be not very comfortable for my poor wife?
My only other option would be an FPSV, but I doubt that'll fit width-wise and because of the seat bolstering.
Many many thanks!
