I have a friend who has a 95 full size ford bronco. Lap/shoulder belts outboard, lap belt in the middle. Current car seat configuration goes like this:
Outboard passenger side - 4 year old, 36lbs, 36 inches, FF in a Boulevard.
Center, lap belt only position.....2.5 year old, 27lbs, 33 inches, FF in an Evenflo Vanguard. (COMPLETELY against my wishes by the way, I tried to get her to turn her back around in an MA or BV.) In this middle position the seat can't be any taller than a Roundabout or Vanguard because the Mom can't see out the window. Since the girl won't last more than a year in a seat that size it I couldn't justify the cost of the Roundabout that would not be used by anyone else.
Driver's side outboard, lap/shoulder belt....7 year old, 46lbs, 50ish inches, in a Britax Parkway (which she LOVES by the way, after not being in a seat for 3 years she had no complaints!)
So, here is the dilema. The 2 year old is going to be outgrowing the Vanguard sometime within the next year, probably less than that. Aside from the laptop, what options are there for a child who is not much more than 35lbs, and not much taller than 35 - 40 inches (I'm hoping we'll get to 40 inches in this seat).
Requirements:
It has be used with a lap belt only
no tether anchor and the dealership said they can't install one, or a harness, or a shoulder belt.
and it has to be as small as the Roundabout to not block the view.
The seats don't get moved so that wouldn't be an issue.
Thanks in advance.
