Hello all,
I am considering three seats--Britax MaxWay, AxKid MiniKid, and Besafe IziKid Plus to use in my 2012 Outback. I have read everything I can find on this and other sites regarding these three seats and installation in an Outback but I am finding conflicting information and was hoping you could help me sort things out to make sure I make the safest choices for my daughter.
I cannot find any info on how big these seats are installed. I am hoping to be able to keep the front seats pushed all the way back, or at least almost all the way back. Does anyone know if this will be possible with any of these seats?
I am hoping to install in the rear center (I know this will require a seat belt installation). I have contacted the manufacturers and they indicate this is possible. However, I am confused as to how I would tether in a center install since there will be no seat in front of the carseat. Where would I pass the tether if the install video shows it being passed around the front seat?
Some sources say wrapping the tether around the front seat will mess with the airbags and other say it will not. I have contacted Subaru but cannot get in touch with anyone I trust is giving me the actually correct answer. Does anyone know the official answer to this question? I know there has been a lot of debate on this topic on this site. While I love debates I'm just trying to see if anyone has a formal answer.
Can you share with me why you might buy a seat rated to 18 kilos when seats rated to 25 are available? Is it to save space in the car or are there other reasons? I'd love to know the thought process behind purchasing a lower weight limit seat.
Thanks for your thoughts and info!
