Was looking at a '99 vert this morning and the wife wanted me to hook up the front facing carseat as our daughter will be in it for the next couple of years.
With no anchor or latch system I could only use the regular seatbelt and even pulling it all the way out so it locks and putting my weight into it and feeding all the slack I could back it was way too loose to be acceptable. The rear seats not being a flat bench don't help but the biggest thing is not being able to latch the top of the carseat to anything. There isn't even a headrest to secure it around. Any of you with kids in a carseat have any sugestions? This is going to be a third car so it won't be used all the time but I still need to make sure my daughter will be safe while in her carseat as well as when she graduates to a booster seat. |

I have a little trouble with the child seat in mine.. I have my 3 year old niece.. the car seat is actually slightly too wide but not wide enough at the same time, so it sits at a bit of a slant unless you balance it just right. In addition to the retarded size, the seat belt doesn't always lock down and hold it firmly in place.. but if you mess with the angles and the seat belt a little bit you should be able to get it to work fairly well. Just takes a little time adjusting it. It also helps if the car seat has an adjustable back to where it can either sit up or lean back some so that you can get it at the same angle as the back seat....
just what I've found in the last couple weeks. -------------------- ![]() 94 ST--- Project Fury |
