We have a 2014 Honda Odyssey. My problem is with finding a convertible car seat that can be placed on the 2nd row middle seat when the vehichle seats are in wide mode. When the seats are in wide mode, I am finding that many seats have overhang on the sides. We had a Britax convertible on the 2nd Row Middle seat until it was pointed out to me that Britax does not allow any side overhang. I contacted Diono about the Ranier and they said no side overhang as well. Are there any convertible rear facing car seats that can be placed there safely when the seats are in wide mode? I need wide mode to access the third row. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? Thank you!

I've put a Clek Fllo in a newer Honda Odyssey in the +1 seat with no issues (rear-facing). And have Clek's CPSTs assurance in writing that it's even ok on this seat with one of the outboard seats removed entirely.
Clek Fllo and Foonf work, I have read.
I have one of those read to go for RF and then FF once baby outgrows his bucket seat. These are narrow so should be no problem. (2011 van but almost the exact same as yours).
I have also heard (somewhere on the forums) that Scenera Next fits and that's a very inexpensive option if needed, as well. Plus, light weight and easy to install. Not super user friendly as far as tightening harness like the Clek for everyday use, we found.

I'm having the same issue for my 2016. I wanted the boulevard there but they say it can't have any overhang. But I have a friend who emailed Britax and they said as long as it's a tight install it can have 1/2 on each side. So I emailed them also to see what they say. Also I read all these car seat blogs that have a Britax in the middle middle. So I'm really confused.
I spoke to Britax on the phone and after speaking to a supervisor they said no overhang. I emailed them and requested they show me where this is documented (as I couldn't find it in the manual) and they emailed me back "no overhang" with no backup documentation. Good luck! It is very frustrating and very confusing. I am looking into a Clek which though expensive has been mentioned above to work and Clek customer service gave it a thumbs up and sent pictures with a seatbelt install.
