I am getting two tethers installed in my 1999 Chrysler T & C van tomorrow at the Chrysler dealership. We have two kids who need FF tethers:
My 5 year old in a Regent in driver's side captain's seat (FWIW...I tried to get the Regent installed in rear bench but the rear middle lap belt installation was way loose and Gen3 seatbelt (UGH) buckle was jammed up too close by the Regent AND rear passenger side lap/shoulder belt was too short for long-belt and way loose for short-belt) and, in the near future, AND my now 29 pounder who is currently RF in passenger side captain's seat.
My question is: will the installers give me any options as to where to place anchors? Or is it in the "instruction booklet" that comes with the part that tells them where to install? Maybe my question will be clearer if I explain that my concern is my 8 year old who sits in her Parway in the back benchseat passenger side (no shoulder belt in middle of bench)-- will the tether end up obstucting her feet? Will the tether be between her legs (sort of under the bench) or can they install the anchors close to under the captain's sest? Make sense?? Any other tips from those who have had to have tethor anchors installed? Thank you!!
