Rear Facing Seat in 1988 Ford F-150

[Adel]

Hello.
My husband and I share a truck, it's a 1988 Ford F-150 with a bench seat. We have a 5 month old and while we were able to install his first car seat just fine (Chicco Keyfit 30) we are wanting to upgrade to a Graco 4EverAll-In-One Car seat and I'm nervous I won't be able to install it. My son is tall and has outgrown the Keyfit 30 (his head is getting to the very top of the seat) and we need an infant seat he can grow in thus us wanting to get the Graco 4Ever one. It looks like the install is different than the Chicco Keyfit 30 where we use the middle lap belt to strap down the base. Does anyone know if I can do the same with the Graco seat? We don't have the bars for the latch system.

Thanks,
Adel

Yes, you'll be able to use the lap belt. All US seats can be installed with a lap belt, and will have instructions to do it in their manuals.

Something else that might an issue is being able to see around the car seat while driving.
