Well, I had just finally convinced myself that I could afford to get a Regent for my DD who at 19 months is over 31 lbs already, but then I see that it has to be tethered if the child is over 50 lbs. I drive a 1991 Toyota Previa, and it has no anchors. I called the dealership, and they said they only have retrofit kits for vehicles as far back as 1996. So now what do I do? I looked at a carseat compatibility list, and it repeatedly lists seats installed in Previas as tethered, sometimes to the anchors for the rear seats. Is this not safe? They are marked as being a good install. Is it possible these people are getting anchors installed from someplace besides the dealer? The Britax manual says "WARNING: Attach the Versa-tether only to tether anchors identified by your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Use of other locations is not approved or permitted.", so I would assume attaching it to a seat anchor is not safe. Are there any aftermarket products I could get and have installed or am I just out of luck and have to get a different seat? I'm really bummed right now.
