where did u place the car seat?
i know its suppose to go in the middle back seat but there's a hump in my TSX rear seats. so it kinda tilts even with the latch and seat belt fasten.
it seems to fit fine in the seat behind the passenger since its sunken in more so the cradle actually sits snug in that spot.
also, did any of u guys upgrade ur prior to the bundle joy? i was leaning towards a larger sedan but maybe a SUV is the way to go?
thanks y'all!

I'm not a dad just yet but I picked up a car seat this past weekend since we're getting close. I haven't test fitted it yet but I made sure to get one that a lot of reviewers said would fit into a smaller car. I'll be putting it in the middle of the back seat as well. I don't plan on upsizing my vehicle any time soon since that seems like overkill for now.

96 accord to 2005 TL. Middle seat and I used the hidden latch on the rear seat, no need for seat belt. Make sure you get on top of the seat and pull the car seat straps as hard as you can.

I had the TL and it was ALMOST perfect. Just slightly short on trunk space. Rear facing seats are a LOT smaller than the front facing ones when they get older. Tyler's OG chicco keyfit fit perfect in the TL. His recaro and britax ones are way too big.

Yeah, I just got the Chicco Keyfit 30 and I I've already got my eye on the Recaro ProSport for further on down the road, assuming it fits. :hi5:

Its sad.. Tyler only lasted 6 months in the Chicco. Bought that and 3 bases and got such little use from it. Britax marathon is big enough to rest against the front seats when rear facing in th emiddle of the mdx.

Like I said.. the secondary seats are MUCH bigger. Wish I still had the TL, but I can't even begin to describe how useful having the SUV has been vs. large sedan.

Got the same seat right now, keyfit 30 with 2 bases. as of now. it looks like im gonna have to move the front seats up in order to actually but in the baby seat into the base.....
here's to hoping i get to use it for more than 6 months. im trying to justify into getting a MDX but man, im gonna miss the mpg i get from the TSX.

Behind the passenger seat. I don't like the idea of them being in the middle.
