Hello! Please someone help me! I need to install a britax advocate rearfacing in my 2005 pathfinder. Hopefully i have no problems in the center position with the seatbelt since i do not have latch in the middle and have read that nissan wont allow borrowing latch from the outboard seats , bummer.
The real problem i have is with the top tether strap. In my nissan the anchors are all behind the seat which means i will have this massive strap over top the seat above my childs head with a rear install. The britax manual strongly reccomends that the top tether is used even when rear facing. I called 3 dealerships and the 800 nissan customer service line and nobody could tell me if i could create an anchor with the extra strap that is supplied with this carseat. I was hoping to anchor it around the bottom of a front seat but not sure if this could even work in the middle position since the stap would have to be pulled over to the left or the right to anchor to a front seat. I am so confused and only want my child to be as safe as possible. Any input is much appreciated.
