What will fit?

What will fit?(figured it out *pics*)

So I have a snugride for the baby BUT it doesn't fit well. It makes it uncomfortable to drive for me and there is NO way DH could drive. My first thought was to just switch Ds and the baby, yet DH doesn't want to take Ds's leg room from him. DH's solution was to put them both in the third row with the second row folded down or even take the second row out (if we can) we can not fit either one back there with out doing one or the other. I personally don't want the baby that for back. Would a baby trend be smaller front to back than the SR? I am also think a TF would fit but have no where to try it. I know we won't have a problem once we can put a convertible more upright b/c I have had a EFTA and a COMO RF drivers side. HELP!!!! Oh and this is all in a Suzuki XL-7 and as much as I want to get a mini van it is just not in the cards right now UGH!!


WOOT WOOT I did it!!! I have never been able to fit a convertible in the middle with DS's seat OB and can't fit the FN in the middle b/c our middle seat belt is wonky. Yet since the way the SR's base and belt path are it fit PERFECT!!!! It is a little off center but both seat are independently ROCK SOLID.

FN is installed LBP and SR in installed w/seat belt also






And for fun don't worry we never left the garage LOL

Figured it out

When you install the snugride closer to your due date(I can't imagine you're leaving it in until baby is born), you might want to use a locking clip and not lock the belt. With the kind of seat belts you have, over time the belt will tighten and make the base/seat tip. Using a locking clip will resolve the problem.

Thank you for the advice. UMM I have never used a locking clip, how do you?

Re: What will fit?(figured it out *pics*)

Step 1--Read your manual
Step 2--Look for a youtube video(i'm sure someone here will post one)
Step 3--attempt

I'll try to describe it, but I'm not always good with words.

Put belt through base & buckle.
Pull on shoulder belt to make it tight...DO NOT PULL SHOULDER BELT OUT TO LOCK!!!!
Pinch lap and shoulder belt together and then unbuckle.
Install locking clip
Rebuckle--this part will be a bit of a challenge.

Here's the predicted Youtube how-to video showing a Snugride w/base seatbelt installation using a locking clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc5CLIok3eU&feature=channel_page
