Question Top tether for rf blvd in 3rd row?

I want to rearrange the kiddos seats in the dodge grand caravan. I would like to place my youngest rf'ing in his blvd in the third row, on the passenger side (the "40" split seat.) It would be a seatbelt install. My middle son would be in the seat directly in front of him in the second row capt chair. It is the type of chair that can "stow and go". My middle son's ff'ing harnessed seat will be using the top tether spot on the back of that second row capt chair. Can I tether the baby's seat to the leg of the stow and go seat?
I'm just wondering since it's not like a front seat that it permanently bolted into position.

I can't do the "Australian" method of top tethering the blvd (in that location) since the third row of the dodge only has a top tether anchor for the middle seat.

Also, if the second row seat in front of the blvd were to be stowed, could I top tether to the spot on the floor where the leg of the capt seat locks into? (When it is unstowed.) It is a solid metal loop.

It's fine to tether to the leg of the seat, and if the seat is stowed you can tether to the ring. Any nonmoving part of the car.
