2 RF RA's & 1RF MA in an Altima?

MissAlex621 · Oct 30, 2007

Yeah, I know what you're thinking, impossible, right? Well, I did it!!! Today I only had DD and 2 daycare kids, all of whom RF. I wanted to try and take the car instead of the suv to save gas, so I gave it a shot during nap time. It worked! I can't believe I got them in! Lol! And it wasn't difficult to get DD strapped into the middle carseat

Can someone calculate these angles for me?

Is it okay that it's this close to the edge?

Is this okay?

Just a couple pics of how they don't puzzle, lol

And I just thought this looked cool, lol

Congrats on the 3 across!! Do you mind telling me what year your Altima is? And if you know, how much space is in the back seat (inches wise)? Thanks

thats impressive!

Awesome! That's probably the best 3 across pic I've seen. I especially like the one through the back window. I bet it would look funny to the car following you.

Wow!! Which went in first? The middle?

Wow, looks great. To answer your question, being that close to the door is fine provided it's not pushing the car seat unnaturally when you close the door - armrests will sometimes do this. :thumbsup:

It could just be the picture, but it looks like only the lap section of the belt in the lock-off? Both the shoulder section and the lap section need to be in the lock-offs.

(When rf'ing anyways.)

It's okay if it's over that far as long as long as it isn't being hit by the door (like snowbird25ca said) and each seat has a tight install independent of the other(s). If you take the MA out of the middle, do the RAs still have less than 1" of movement in any direction at the beltpath?

The door doesn't touch the carseats, I can slide a piece of paper between the carseats and the door.

I installed the MA, then the RA's. I checked the MA before I put the RA's in, and I took one RA out and the MA out to check if the RA installed tightly. Everything looked good so I did it all over again, lol.

The lockoff isn't locking the seatbelt, my seatbelts lock on their own. I just closed the lockoff after installing because it was sticking out and annoying me, lol. Is it okay that it's closed? Only the lap portion is in it.

My Altima in a 98. I'm not sure what the measurement of my backseat is, I don't have a measuring tape. Maybe I can go out to the car later with a ruler, lol!
