Child seat tethering

[vt_maverick]

Hmmm... I dunno, will have to let other more mechanically inclined folks speak to the strength issue. We have a Recaro child seat and I always use the shoulder belt, which seemed to provide more than enough support.

I use the shoulder belt as well. just a bit over cautious I guess....

belt and suspenders...

The VX has proven to be an amazingly easy vehicle to have a car seat in. In some cases easier than my wife's four door sedan. When my Son was in a "pumkin seat" I would leave the left seat folded forward and just slide him in and over and clip-clip...safe and sound. Now that he is in a convertible "big boy" car seat....I have the car seat rear facing and just fold the seat backwards and load him in, then move the seat back to the upright position. Its been great. Not quite sure what I am going to do when he is forward facing, but I guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

I've actually found it to be really easy. We have her car seat on the passenger's side, so with the seat extender bars in place, all I do is slide the front seat forward, rest a knee on the floorboard, then set her in her seat. Super easy, and I actually like doing it that way a lot more than putting her in sideways the way you would in a four door vehicle.

Btw, she LOVES riding in the VX. I think the theater seating gives her a lot better view than she gets in the wife's Axiom.

This fact has continued to pleasantly surprise me.
