My friends are having a big cookout today, and last night I met a couple they are friends with. They have a 13mo DS who is FFing in an EFTA, that I peeked in, and saw it installed in the center of their 2008 Jeep Liberty, using what I am assuming are the 2 outboard UAS/LATCH anchors (not sure if the Liberty has UAS in all 3 positions). AND the seatbelt (lap/shoulder in the center) routed through the rear-facing belt path!
Then I saw them put their son in it on the way home from the fireworks last night, and the shoulder straps were falling off his shoulders and the chest clip was at his belly. :thumbsdown: At least they have the seat tethered, though the FF tether is very loose (I should mention that I am in Ohio at the moment, on vacation for 2 weeks, not in Canada). I wasn't able to get close enough to ensure they don't have the seat in the RF recline position.
I talked to my friend, and asked how the mom would react to me saying something in a non-confrontational way. She said the mom should be receptive, but not to let the dad overhear because he installed it and would get VERY defensive about it.
Wish me luck, Im going to approach the mom this afternoon and hope she lets me help her install it properly.
Also if anyone can LMK if the new Jeep Liberty has 3 across LATCH I'd appreciate knowing ahead of time
