Thread: attaching seat belt connector to seat?

i will do that. had to take a long lunch today to work on one of the cars that blew a spark plug out..... so, i will probably not be able to until next week.

Re: attaching seat belt connector to seat? The RSTV has as much SIP as a five point harness, since that's what it is, a wearable five point. Plus sitting between two shelled seats (albeit one rear facing) will offer SIP. However, it's a pain since it's be like installing a seat every time. Plus a nine year old may not fit, depending on size. It's an option, but if a regular booster fail first. Wendy __________________...

Terms like "Side Impact Tested" (or True Side Impact Protection, etc.) are developed in the marketing department, not the engineering or research departments. There is no standard for side impact testing. Any manufacturer can claim it on any seat -- there's even one who...

I just wanted to jump on the side impact bandwagon There's a backless booster (I forget the name, but it's new) that claims to have SIP. Uh.... it's backless..... there's nothing to protect the head. Their SIP is for the hips When you are looking at SIP, forget what labels are or are not there. Just look at what's around the head. THe more/bigger head support (or deeper the sides), the more SIP. Like others, I think...

Re: attaching seat belt connector to seat? I wish I had a Radian, since I'm in Central OH too. Don't think I have anything that would be considered narrow to try, unless you want to see if a Graco Airbooster is narrow enough for your situation. It's my dckids' favorite booster, they fight over it lol. I'm guessing you've discounted it because of the lack of SIP, but would a Ride Safer Travel Vest be an option?...

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think the 65 and 80 have the same install and dimensions, so if my 80 fits, a 65 would too. Correct, all the radians have the same dimensions. I believe there is a difference in the internal makeup/steel reinforcement that makes for the higher weight limits.

I am definitely going with that one & when we get a van it will be the backup for my car & we'll get monterey's then. katie, i can get there easily on lunch if you mean the one off 256...
