2003 Pontiac Montana 8 pass van:
-RF - all positions are great with or without LATCH, but couldn't find any tehter points for the middle row of seats (nothing below the front seats to tehter to, no visable belt stalks)
-FF - 2nd row outboard both sides easily with LATCH
-FF - 2nd row middle and outboard with seatbelt with a GREAT DEAL of difficulty but is rock solid now that it's in (middle).
-3rd row - UNSUCCESSFUL in any FF position in back row of seats, didn't try Rf back there.
1999 Ford F-150 extend-a-cab (kind with one set regular doors one set suicide doors)
-RF center ONLY of back 'seat', either side is not enough room behind front seats for the recline, and no way to make the radian more upright....no way to tehter this either (at least that I could find)
-FF not acceptable in any location - tried center and outboard rear, and side passanger (airbags can be turned off) could not get even close to acceptable install (but didn't try overly hard either, was just for curiousity sake)
2006 Chevy uplander:
-FF - 2nd row captains seats with LATCH - great and easy install
-FF - 2rd row captains seats, unable to get acceptable install with seatbelt
-FF - 3rd row unable to get acceptable install with seatbelt (no latch there)
-didn't try rf in this van
HELLO, I'M QUESTIONING THE STATEMENT REGARDING *UNSUCCESSFUL RADIAN INSTALL IN ANY FF POSITION IN THE 3RD ROW OF A 2003 8 PASSENGER MONTANA. I HAVE MY RADIAN 80 *ROCK SOLID* IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 3rd ROW OF MY 03 8p. mONTANA.... LAP BELT ONLY, TETHERED.
IS THAT WRONG? thanks!
how did you guys get the Radian to fit snugly using the LATCH and tether strap? It seems that the radian80 slides around quite easily even when the straps are tight. I think it has to do with the LATCH straps because it's a continuous strap from the right and left. I only have the Britax Marathon to compare with and that carseat isn't budging even 1 cm. The right and left LATCH mechanism are separate from each other.
I like it a lot, but just couldn't get the carseat to stay still. Am I doing something wrong?
