We just bought a new car today...a 2011 Chevy Traverse However, there is only one top tether anchor in the 3rd row...in the middle...which essentially makes the 3rd row a one seat row cause nothing would fit next to it if it were in the middle. For now, I went ahead and installed the seats outboard in the 3rd row, untethered. They are installed LBP and ROCK solid. I know it's not ideal, but I also know that it passes testing. I do feel (hopefully correctly) that the LBP install helps provide some top stability that a SBP install would not provide. I know it doesn't replace a tether, but I'm hoping it's a 'happy medium'.
How OK would you be using them like this? I can't realistically put either of the twins in the 2nd row. I have 4 kids. So 2 have to be in the middle...and 2 in the back. But my 'kid' that is not in a seat is far too big to sit in the back on any kind of regular basis. He's the size of an adult. So, he goes in the middle row...as does my 2yr old who is rf'ing.
Here is my new ride w/seats installed.
