Car Shopping

We are going car shopping for our 17yr old. There may be times he drives the kids to school, so I need to have a game plan for putting seats in his future car.

We are looking at: Jeep Liberty (2005ish), Nissan Xterra (2000-2003), and Ford Escape (2002-2005).

The Xterra (and maybe the Escape too?) only has a lap belt in the middle, which means I will need a skinny harnessed seat. Don't really want to buy a Radian for the very rare times she will use it in his car. And I don't know if the Maestro will play well with 2 boosters. I'm thinking the Harmony Defender will work best, provided I can get a decent install. BUT, are there top tethers in this location? I can't tell by the pictures.

DD is almost 5, short and about 38lbs, so the Defender will last her a long time.

Bought a 2003 Xterra. It has top tethers in all 3 spots. :love: Picking up a Defender tomorrow and hoping I can fit all 3 across. Otherwise, someone is going up front.
