RFing seatbelt install of Cocorro

[luvsviola]

Does the seat belt get in the way on a rear facing install outboard? I really want one for DD2 to make a 3 wide work in DH's 04 Accord. Mostly, I just want one. But the seatbelt position looks really annoying, and he will be unhappy if it is a PITA to get her in. He doesn't share my love of carseats. So has anyone done it outboard with seatbelt and can post pics/tell me if it makes getting kiddo in a PITA?

Right now, we have Onboard 35/Radian FF/Radian RFing. I don't want to buy another Radian if I can avoid it because they never were able to get me one that I felt good about in my Odyssey (the replacement belts they sent were older than the ones on the seat and did not fix the problem).

Any other suggestions? DD is not anywhere near ready to booster, so I'm going to need to buy a third seat.

It can be a bit of a PITA if you do the euro routing but if you don't use the euro routing it's a non-issue. I have done it before and it annoyed me slightly but it was short term so I dealt with it. I don't have any pics on hand and my CCO hasn't come home just yet. I will ask it's current caretaker if she will take pics for you.

I used the Coccoro with European routing for two years and never found it to be a problem. I just plopped DD down over the belt.

But if you do find it inconvenient, then, as mentioned, you don't need to route it that way.

Yeah, skip the euro routing and it's just like every other seat, only better. Plus you can still RF tether it.

This. Even with the seat in the middle with car seats on either side I didn't have an issues getting my baby/toddler in or out. If you do have trouble with it though just install it the other way. :thumbsup:

Same here, I always plopped her in over the seatbelt and then buckled underneath the seatbelt. You don't even really notice it after a while!

This was middle row in the 2010 Dodge van (rental).
