Hello,
I own a Evenflo Ultara I car seat (bought in 1999). I had used the car seat with my older child and now my younger child is at the age when we have to move to a front-facing poistion.
The problem is that our car has changed since and we now own a 2001 Toyota Sienna. The tether strap that came along with the car seat is not long enough to reach the anchor point which is located on the floor behind the second row (drivers side).
I called up Evenflo to buy a extra-long tether strap and they informed me that since the child-seat is more than 6 years old they don't sell any replacement parts :-(
I read somewhere that extension tether straps are available. Is that true? If yes, are they safe to use and where can I buy it. I also read in one of the postings on this website on how the tether strap can be attached to a seat belt in the 3rd row. Is that recommended?
Any other suggestions? The only other I can think of is buying a new car seat which I really don't want to. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
Cyrus
