Plus one Odyssey seat

I really should have searched the forums here before I went and tried to install my Blvd CT on it in the sweltering heat and humidity. Seriously was a rookie move on my part. I love this seat but really wish it was narrower to fit on that seat. The option of 3 across is so nice but the big kids fight who gets to sit next to the baby if he's on the end. It's a good problem to have
And I also really hate the belt fit for my booster riders in the plus one seat too.

What model year? There are two different plus ones.

Oh yes. Very few seats work there.

I have a 2013. Don't know if the plus one is different, but I have an Advocate CT there. It installs nicely RF as long as I have it perfectly centered on the seat when I start.

The +1 was redesigned in 2011, and works a lot better for car seats than the older one.

Also, bella, do you have your second row in narrow mode? If not, Britax doesn't approve the side overhang that the CT seats have on the latest +1.

I don't believe side overhang is approved at all, right?

Depends on the manufacturer? Britax definitely says no. In narrow mode, there is no overhang at all.

I don't have overhang in narrow mode, but there is overhand in wide mode. I suspect there wouldn't be FF, but haven't tried.

Right now she's outboard because she keep kicking her brother.

In MY 2011+, you can move the outboard seats away from the middle seat to create more room on the middle row bench. Instructions are in the manual, it's a little tricky at first.

I have an '09. I can either leave the captain seats where they are and put the plus one seat in or move over the passenger side captain seat so it's next to the other one allowing an aisle for the third row.

Ok, after reading more I understand that the newer models have the option to slide the captain seats over a little to allow more room on the middle seat. Is that right?

Yes. It creates a little gap between the captains chairs and the middle seat. The sliding option is missed by some people, especially because that seat is still tricky.

BTW by MY, I meant "model year," I wasn't emphasizing that it was my van (it's not!).

So it's ok for the Britax to "overhang" on to the adjacent seat when it's in narrow mode?

I think it's just not supposed to overhang onto empty air.

So I could have my Blvd CT on the plus 1 seat with captain seats adjacent? I might have to try this again. When it's not 95 degrees out [emoji41]
