Question Best RF convertible for 2 door civic??

[Brianna073091]

Looking for a convertible that fits properly in a 2 door Honda Civic. Mine is a 2010. I have a safety 1st guide 65 which has been reinstalled 2x by local police who are certified techs, but because the backseat has a dip in the seats - my car seat was shifting. Scary!! Safety 1st is sending me a replacement, a scenera next. I'm hoping I do not have the same problems but if anyone has come across one that works perfectly in this car I am willing to buy a new one.

How tall and old and heavy is your child?

The Scenera Next doesn't require noodles or towels to keep the recline proper like the Guide does. It's much easier to install.

However, a tech's job is to teach YOU how to install your seat and make sure you're comfortable with it. If the techs at the police haven't done this, twice, then I wouldn't go back a third time.

For the Guide, until the Scenera Next arrives (and may negate the issue of replacing it all together), get behind the seat and as you tighten the lower anchor strap (if you're installing on the sides) or the locked seatbelt (for anywhere in the backseat), lean your hips into the seat. That will help the angle stay. There's nothing wrong with your seat, it's just a matter of getting your angle proper and keeping it there. Your manual suggests a rolled towel or pool noodle to help with this, and pushing it back and into the backseat helps a LOT. It's very nice of Dorel to send you a new seat, since there's nothing wrong with your old one.

She's 1 and maybe 20 lbs she does carry most of her weight in her length if that makes a difference. They used noodles Last time and still no luck... will try and find another tech! Thank you
