Hello and thank you for any advice you can offer in advance.
My very tall 3 yr old is needing to go from her convertible Chicco NextFit Zip to a harness/booster. I am more than likely about to purchase the Chicco MyFit LE Harness that just came out. The problem is that I know these taller seats require a top tether, but my 1998 Lexus ES300 does not have one.
After some research online, I even found the part number for a top tether and went to my local Lexus dealership. They said that part is not associated with my VIN number and they will not install it and do not know how. They have never even heard of such a thing. They took a look at my car above the back seat and apparently it is plastic and there is not really metal back there to bolt it to and no pre-drilled holes either like other cars may have.
I am worried because we have no other car and she is needing this "big girl" seat and most of all to be safe! I have seen that a top tether will keep her head from going forward and I am really stuck here on what to do.
I appreciate anything anyone can suggest or help to soothe my anxious mind. Thank you!
