The rigid buckle stalk on my captain's chair in my 2003 Ford Windstar it too long to be used in the SBP installation of my Regent. Kira is almost at 40 lbs, so the install needs to be switched from LBP LATCH to SBP seat belt.
I wouldn't mind selling the Regent and getting a Frontier or another Nautilus, but what if it's the same issue? And then I'm out the extra money if I go with a Frontier.
I have always used LATCH in those seating positions just because I find it easier for me. I never thought it would impossible to use the seat belt!
Can I get Ford to change the buckle stalks? But then again, I was just informed that my transmission is shot and it's only a matter of time before it stops working. So we may end up getting another vehicle sooner rather than later. I don't want to pay money to get the seat belts changed and then just have to buy a new car.
Grrr... Any suggestions? Has anyone successfully installed a Regent SBP, a Frontier, or a Nautilus using the seat belt in the captain's chair (with a really long buckle stalk)? We have a Nautilus, so I can at least try that one. I can't put the Regent in DH's car because he doesn't have tether anchors (and they can't be installed, I've already tried ).
