Thsi just doesn't make sense to me. We took my grandmother out ot eat this week in her vehicle, so I moved our MA to her car. I got a decent install in the center, but I ended up moving her OB anyway.
I did check out the Envoys manual, it's got something really confusing in there. The wording makes me think you cannot put a carseat in the center rear position.:thumbsdown:

p. 1-42 under, where to put the cr? reccommends a rear OB position. Under the warning it also says something about ALWAYS put a RF seat in a OB position due to airbags
This makes sense if you use LATCH, but it hasn't even mentioned LATCH at this point. It does have a top tether anchor for the center position though.
p.1-47 starts talking about LATCH on the left, but the right is instructions for a seat belt install. And the pic shows carseats in only OB positions.
p.1-50 is the kicker- It has a picture and says NOT to use CR's in the center rear position! If they don't read the manual they'd never see this!
WTH? Why would they do that? I understand that the belts won't work properly but we all know the center is the best spot...not to mention that you wouldn't be able to do 3 across. And it seems that no seat should be in the center, not just RFing seats.
