I have installed one ff in my mom's Chevy astro van easily it was in the center of the middle bench with a lapbelt I have not tried it RF is it just as easy to install RF? My DH and I are thinking of getting a astro van but I also want to keep DS RF for another year in his Radian

Sorry, no Astros here.

Did you happen to install one in a Equinox. I have a 2010 Terrain and I think their seats are the same..

I have a 2000 Safari (same as Astro). I'll have a Radian on Monday and can give it a shot. If you look at Defrost's avatar, I believe she's installing a RF Radian in that exact spot in a '97 (??) Astro.

No, I didn't do any installs in the chevys since no one requested anything.

Thanks I'm just curious how it installs in the center and behind the drivers seat

It goes in pretty easy, but I couldn't get it very upright (as you might expect with such a flat seat). I think it's about 40deg. Maybe closer to 35 in the driver's side pic. I didn't have much time, so didn't mess with seat positions. I think you'd be able to get the driver's seat all the way back if the bench was all the way back. My bench is all the way forward. I twisted the female stalk down 1.5 turns and flipped the latchplates upside-down.

Radians and Malibus are the best! Actually I think I haven't had problems installing seats in my mom's car... only thing was finding good 3 acrosses but not a difficult thing. Only peeve is no center headrest.

I have a 2011 equinox which I believe is identical to the 2010 and also my bff has the terrain and yes as far as i could tell the back seats are identical as well. My xtsl fits great in my vehicle. If you are tall though you may find the front a bit cramped w an outboard install.

Any Radian/Chevy install requests?
