    Here are pics of mine:





    I have a 2yr old and a 7 month old. I keep the passenger seat leaned up a little (makes it easier, also the seat extenders help too, they move the seat up a bit) then when putting the kids in I just lean in and put my son in his seat and buckle him up, and for my daughter, if you have a brand new baby it may be easiest to either install though the back door onto the base or between the front seats (easiest with passenger seat leaned forward). For my daughter I just tilt the seat on it's side a bit and slide her in and lock her into the base, my kids love riding in the VX. My son is always knocking on the door when he comes outside trying to get in it lol. As far as getting the seat/base mounted, it's super easy. I keep a towl on the seat and pull the seat belt ALL the way out so it locks in, slide it through the base, pull it as tight as I can (I usually lean on the seat/base) and then on the base there is an adjusting knob to tilt the rear up which tightens it up so I turn that until I can't anymore. Let me know if you have any more questions or needs any more pics.

    Mike,

    Sorry for the TJ. I just couldn't let the opportunity pass.

    I can get you the seat sliders for $75 but it'll be a few weeks.

    the answer =

    Rear Facing : load from back door. Seat folds flat backwards to allow for easy loading.

    Forward Facing: Tom4Bren Seat Sliders

    super easy.

    easier than a 4 door sedan


    Congrats on the baby.....Its an adventure, and worth every minute.

    I may need a set of these seat brackets,
    my little girl just turned 4 months, still loading from the back
    for now.
    I have the lock for belt being used now to keep the seat tight
    against the carseat.
    Going to look for the hook tie downs under the carpet this
    weekend too and maybe order them for later on.


    Ah, whatever happened to the good ol days when I use to
    stand on up on the front seat of my moms 65 Comet so I
    could see better, I made it okay (haha jk) how times have
    changed, at least somethings did improve

    Your psyche is fine ... you stumped me on the lyrics thing (I'm guessing it's NOT country).

    TOW heads

    In colonial times, families grew their own flax to make into fabric for clothing. Transforming the flax into thread was a complicated, involved process with many time-consuming steps. After the flax was harvested, it was soaked in water for several days to soften it so the inner fibers could be removed from the stalk. To separate the long, thin fibers from the shorter, coarser ones, the flax was pulled through a bed of nails or combed in a process called "towing." The shorter fibers that were extricated were of a lesser quality and were called "tow." This led to the term "towheads" to describe people, particularly children, whose hair resembled these stran

    So tow head means coarse, not blonde?

    I was bright blonde when I was a kid too and I never did like the term tow head. Mostly cuz its sounds like poop head or smelly face....."yeah well, you're a tow head".
