regent in a 97 Pathfinder

DD1 is currently riding a Signo in my mom's 97 Pathfinder. One of DD2's MAs will expire in a couple months so I will need that Signo for her. I have an extra Regent that I would love to go in the Pathfinder cause DH will flip if I buy another seat, apparently 8 seats for 2 DC are too much. :cool:

I've only installed our regent(s) in several different cars but they have all been new so tethers were already there, used LATCH, etc... Should the Nissan dealership be able to install a tether in a 97? I've played around with it and got LBP and SBP so I don't think that will be a problem, just the tether. This took me by surprise, my mom has been planning for years to get a new car this year, so I didn't think I would have to worry about the lack of tether, but she has decided not to, so now I'm trying to figure out how to make the seats I have work! TIA.

You can retrofit up to 3 tether anchors in the '97 Pathfinder according the LATCH manual. :thumbsup: The Nissan tether anchor retrofit part number is 88894-89900 at a cost of approx. $15 per part, and there are three 8 mm weld nuts under the carpet in the Pathfinder's rear cargo floor. Nissan unfortunately doesn't have a free tether anchor retrofit program, but you might be able to install yourself with a torque wrench after purchasing the part(s). You could also have a look in the car's manual because I know some Nissan models have more details/diagrams in the owner's manual showing the anchor points for installing tether anchors.
