I am going nuts trying to replace the vehicle and seats we lost in a crash. I know what I'd like to have if money was no object, but it is and so I am freaking out trying to "make do" with what we can afford. We've purchased a 2002 Suburban but I'm not sure if we'll keep it. I can't seem to get carseats in it tight at all. Well, my husband and I, together, putting all our muscle and weight into it, got a Marathon installed well RF in the passenger captains seat. So there's one at least... for now...
What have people had success with in the center third row position? Because since it has no headrest and no shoulder belt, I need to keep my tall torsoed 2yo harnessed there as long as possible to make this vehicle work for us because I need to fill the other positions with boosters and preteens and such who need shoulder belts. So a seat with a high shoulder strap height and weight limit is a must. But frankly, I'll take anything right now because nothing I currently own works there (Nautilus and Marathon). If you've successfully gotten either a Nautilus or Marathon installed in that position, I'd love to hear how. But I can buy a new seat too - the insurance is paying for new seats. But what is going to be compatible? I hear the Radian isn't compatible with that seat - is that right? What about the Frontier? Prosport? Something else?
