3rd row center position in 2005 Odyssey

[S1C EM]

My wife and I are expecting baby #3 any day now and are having to move our oldest back into the third row in our 2005 Honda Odyssey. He has a Recaro Prosport that we have been using in harness mode with the seat belt in the second row. I just finished installing it in the center of the third row and didn't have any issues getting it (ridiculously) tight there, but I'm curious to know if there are any concerns since I'm using the center seat belt (it's the one that has two parts that are locked together when in use)? The belt locks and, again, it's super tight. Our DS who will be back there is 8yo and about 56lbs.

While I'm at it, didn't Recaro drop the weight limit on this seat for harness mode? The manual says 90, but I'm thinking it got bumped down not too long ago. Anyone know?

I can't speak to the seat itself but re the seat belt --

Is the seat belt a two part one where you disconnect the shoulder portion and stow it in the ceiling, leaving you with a fully functioning lap belt on its own? My 03 Odyssey had that but I don't know if it was still that way on the 05. If so you use only the lap belt and put the shoulder portion away.

No, the 05 is the first year for a fairly standard compound belt.

No concerns about using those. They are typical of a lot of SUVs and minivans. As long as the install is good you're fine.

Also, for the 2005, the latest version of the latch manual states that the off center top tether anchor can be used for either the center or passenger side seating position, so it doesn't have to be in the center if you prefer it outboard.
