Kia Sedona?

[*Spoiledinmyhouseofblue*]

Do the 03' kia sedona's have 2 sets of latch anchors and tether spots in the back and 3 lap/shoulder belt spots? The 07's do..I was just wondering the difference. Thanks.

I corresponded with a Kia Sedona owner yesterday who tried a Regent in the 3rd row, but it would not fit. They were using a Safeguard Go, and were off to try a Nautilus yesterday. I saw a picture of that belt stalk in the third row - even twisted three times it was VERY long.

My regent went in fine in the 3rd row of my 06 sedona.

Will it be RF or FF? I'm pretty sure a Parkway would fit either way, but I'm not sure about a Regent.

It would be ff'ing more than likely. I can't imagine trying to let 2 boys in the back seat with the EFTA blocking the access through the middle. I dont know though (not sure if I would use it for my 4yr old or 2yr old)..I'm not too sure about those plastic things on the harness. Also, I tried the seat out at BRU and I thought the straps were not supposed to move once they were tightened...I was able to move them up and down. I've actually played with a few of these seats and I found the same results. Opinions?

I have a short base 2007 Kia Sedona and have been able to fit my regent in the 3rd row, but I keep it in my second row(captains chair) to give my 5 year old more leg room.

Why is the seat belt stalk twisted I am confused????

03 Sedona's and 07's are different...the buckle stalk is twisted because they are too long to get a proper fit.

My regent went in fine in the 3rd row of my 06 sedona.

They changed the body style a (among a few other things) in 06 so some things your 06 can do, the 03 cannot.

The 03 does not have latch anchors in the third row, there is one tether anchor. No lap/shoulder belt in the middle..only a lapbelt.

Ahhh ok, I was wondering the differences.

My sister was going to look at the older kia's, I am going to advise her against it though..she needs the 3rd set of lap/shoulder belts in back.

Thanks you.

Then she needs an 06 or newer.

Ok, so I tried doing three across with the seats I had today. It was a no-go, but two of those seats are the Regent and the EFTA--which are uber wide.

Seat all the way back


Seat all the way forward (looks short, but it still needs three twists to do anything)

Place buckle mounts to seat

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I think that it will work in an 06. I just played with one today, and tried my Husky in the 2nd and 3rd rows. The belt simply isn't long enough with the recline bar in. If LATCH is used, or if you can take the recline bar out (which, I know, isn't always an option with the newer Regents), it should work. I got it installed well in the 2nd row. With the bar in, the belt was about an inch short. I took the bar out, and it worked. In the 3rd row, I'd only tried with the bar in, and had about an inch and a half. So I'm pretty sure it WILL work, but can't make any promises.

The Regent installs with the recline bar in the Sedona. It's a newer model, we've done this in, I think an '06. The trick is to recline the vehicle seatback.

I have my regent installed in the 3rd row right now in my short base 2007 Kia Sedona. It doesn't give my 5 year old much legroom though. I can take a pic if you want.
