Hi,
My LO is outgrowing her infant seat, so it's time to start shopping for a convertible carseat. Safety is my only concern, other than my ridiculously small back seat ('05 Civic). I love everything about the Cleck Foonf, but highly doubt it will fit rear facing in the middle seat.
Hear are my questions.
1) should my first priority be to find a seat that can be installed rear facing in the middle as opposed to one that might have more safety features but can only be installed in an outboard seat due to size? Is inboard always safest?
2) I would like to RF for as long as possible, ideally well past 2 years, but I can see that some of the seats that might fit inboard in my car likely won't allow for this. When/if this happens is it safer to face her forward in the middle seat or buy a different convertible that will allow her to continue to rear face but in an outboard seat? Essentially which is safest, inboard forward facing or outboard rear facing?
3) Rear facing tether vs anti rebound bars. Do they do they same thing? Is one safer than the other?
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated! Just want my LO to be as safe as possible.
