Does anyone know where I can get a Kid Y harness? From what I understand, E-Z-On no longer makes it and while it appears to be "available" on the Safety Angel website, they haven't responded to my phone calls or emails, so I'm not convinced they have it in stock either.

Help!

Is there a reason you need it, instead of the 86-Y (which can be used with any booster, while the Kid-Y can only be used with the special one?)

According to the kid-y manual it can be used with any booster now. So my sister ordered it for my nephew instead of the 86. It is like half the price (but also half the weight range).

Ill ask my sis if safety angel actually had it, she ordered it a week ago yesterday.

Sent from my Atrix, please excuse typos.

From my brief reading it appears that the 86Y cannot be top tethered to a rear-seatbelt. Am I wrong about that?

I call Ez on directly and ask were I can buy things. They are very nice and direct me to a retail location.

No, I think you're right, although, uh, I'd do it as a TEMPORARY solution if needed. If there's no suitable location for a HDTA, they can also make a customized version that uses seatbelt anchors instead of a TA.

Okay this may be a dumb question, but what are "seatbelt anchors?"
(Oh and this would be a long term need with no option for HDTA's)

Where the seatbelt is anchored to the vehicle. I think it's Heather that had a custom one made like that. You might want to PM her and find out more about it.

Ohhh I see. This is for a contracted van that I can't alter. Hmmm

You don't alter anything, from what I understand (of course, ask Debbie.)
