My belly is too big to wedge in there and really get a better look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770941 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 13:52:24 +0000 maddyz 2770941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's different seats but I install two clek fllo seats with the seat belts and the buckles end up between the two seats it's a little tricky and i have to tighten the middle seat belt first because it's just a lap belt. the shoulder belt is fine to tighten once i have it buckled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770922 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 13:04:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2770922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: Yea thats what I was thinking as well. In my husbands truck we put it behind the passenger seat, so the belt coming from the right shoulder. In my van, we put her behind the driver, so the belt coming from the left shoulder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770907 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 12:10:48 +0000 Pancakes 2770907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @matador84: We have a Frontier and always use the seat belt install and I'm certain that we have installed it with the belt coming from either direction. I feel like I must be missing something.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770862 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 09:02:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2770862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Cant the frontier have the belt path go either direction? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770859 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 08:46:42 +0000 matador84 2770859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: thanks for the input! I put the Chicco behind driver side, the marathon in the middle and the frontier behind driver. It isn't what I wanted but I'm okay with it for now and it's working for my older two. I think the frontier will be impossible to put in the middle because I have to use the belt path. I don't mind putting my oldest in the 3rd row either but I can't get the middle seat down if an car seat is on either outboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770777 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 18:10:36 +0000 Truth Bombs 2770777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have good news and bad news. I have a 2016 Pilot and we have a Chicco NextFit rear facing behind the passenger seat, and a Frontier next to it installed in the middle with the seatbelt. The fit next to each other fine and the seatbelt install is perfectly level and tight. And, my four year old almost always comes out on the passenger side and just crawls right under her brother's seat with no issue. So, I think you're fine to do keyfit behind the passenger and Frontier in middle. The only issue is, I think it will be tight to fit the Marathon in there too. I would probably upgrade to a narrower seat like the Radian to make it work for 3 across. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-help-with-my-car-seat-configuration#post-2770742 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 16:07:21 +0000 matador84 2770742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Honda Pilot with a bench and a 3rd row. So, I have a Chicco KeyFit 30 (no baby yet but soon), a Britax Frontier Clicktight that must use the beltpath, and a Britax Marathon that still uses LATCH.</p> <p>I wanted the kids together on the 2nd row but noticed today the middle seatbelt is on the left so I can't use the beltpath with the Frontier in the middle. I preferred my DD behind the passenger (she'll be the middle child) because it seems like the Frontier is narrower than the Marathon. </p> <p>Plus, my kids go to school in a driveline every day and they must exit on the right side of the vehicle. So, I can't have the infant seat behind the passenger.</p> <p>Any ideas how to better configure the car seats/or include the 3rd row than what I am coming up with? </p>
