My neighbor just recently purchased the above described vehicle, from a private party. Her kids are 4 and 2, baby #3 is due in August. Currently she has the 4yo in a Regent, outboard passenger in the 3rd row, and 2yo in a Marathon, FF, center 2nd row. I went over to look at her seats today, she didn't feel they were installed tight enough. The 4yos Regent was so loose, I could almost move it clear to the center seating position! I fixed that quickly with a LBP install, it is a pre-advisory Regent and she understood that what I was doing was against the new guidelines etc. The install is now correct and VERY solid. The MA was a diff. story. Her middle seat in the 2nd row is a lap only belt, and it is retracts, not like a typical lap belt that has an adjuster strap to make it tight. I could not even begin to the get the MA installed in that center seat, I tried pulling the belt all the way and letting it rachet back in, it would not do this, while her shoulder belts, in the outboard positions, would. So I ended up installing it outboard driver, a much tighter install, since I was able to use the lock off. She has concerns about installing her Graco safeseat that she purchased for the baby, she wants it middle seat 2nd row and I honestly don't know if there is anyway to do it. I have never installed a seat with a locking clip, and am not sure how to do it, or if it can be done with the Safeseat. Does anyone have any experience with this seatbelt, and this vehicle. Suggestions? OR, is she out of luck using that seating position and will baby have to ride outboard? She had intended to put her 2nd child in the outboard seat, 3rd row, once baby arrives anyway. TIA!
