Please help! Trouble with Honda Oddessy and car seat......
I just purchased a 2001 Honda Odessy van. My 21/2 year old is about 36 pounds, so I ran out and bought a Century Breverra Metro car/booster seat....I wanted to use the 5 point harness system until she reached 40 lbs, then use it as a booster from 40 to 80 lbs. We tried to install it, but even with the tether, it won't fit snugly...the new Oddessy lap belts are forward of the crease of the seat, and the manual says that these types of seat belts are not compatible with this car seat. The car seat I have in our old car is a Century 1000, and when I read the manual on that car seat, it also said that it is not compatible with this type of seat belt. The van does have anchor hooks (are these called latches?) at the base of the seat, but neither my two year old car seat, or my new car seat has a place to attach them. So my new van is now sitting in the driveway, because I can't drive it if I can't strap my daughter in safely.
Could anyone tell me what car seat I should buy? I guess I am looking for one that is compatible with the anchor hooks. It doesn't have to be one that converts to a booster seat....I will buy another seat that goes up to forty pounds if I have to, I just need one that fits correctly!
