Hello, everyone,
I just got the new Ford Taurus (basically an improved Ford 500), and have my infant seat (Snug Ride) in the center rear position. There is an armrest in that position. The Graco book doesn't have instructions against this. However, we are probably going to use the Evenflo Triumph for our next seat, and it says to check the vehicle manufacurer's guide. The Ford book doesn't indicate not to put a seat there rear facing. However, it doesn't come out and say it's safe either.
My question is whether is it's safe to put our Snug ride there and the Triumph (or other convertible seat). If not, would the Marathon be any better in that position (I know many prefer the marathon for other reasons..I'm now considering it as well!).
A related question...How would you tether the seat from the center position in this sedan? There is no place indicated for tethering. Would it be safe to use a bar under one of the front seats? Even from the center position?
Thank you so much for any help you can provide. I'm going to call Ford on Monday and see what they say, but I wanted to get some advice from experienced techs.
Thanks,
Ellen
