The Dodge Grand Caravan seats up to seven people, so nobody gets left behind.

Dodge Grand Caravan It features optional adjustable seating for up to eight passengers. As an option, the vehicle offers an electronic entertainment system for the back row of seats that drivers can stow away with the touch of a button when space is necessary for cargo.

You can install a car seat in 3C with LATCH – and be able to use 3D and 3P for people or car seats (car seats will be installed with the seat belt). To try and get 3 car seats in this 3rd row, install in 3C with LATCH and 3D & 3P with the seat belt (and always add the tether strap if the car seat is forward-facing).

Evenflo Big Kid LX High Back Booster – The Most Portable High-Back Booster Seat. The next product for today is the narrowest booster seat with back support, coming from Evenflo and measuring only fifteen inches in width. It’s a convertible car seat, transforming from a high-back booster to a backless booster car seat.

Built-in boosters don’t provide the side-impact protection that many traditional booster seats include. There may be weight and height limitations that may limit your child’s use of the booster seat. They could outgrow it before reaching ten years of age.

Tether anchors can be added to many vehicles manufactured between 1989-1999. Many of these vehicles have the holes pre-drilled in the vehicle, often with the nut in place, so that retrofitting the tether anchor is as simple as ordering the part and screwing in a bolt.

Older Vehicles may not Accommodate Forward Facing Car Seats In a car without tether anchors, the Graco Extend2Fit lets this 4 year old continue to safely rear face. Rear facing car seats fit just fine in many vehicles that don’t include factory-installed tether anchors becuase they don’t require a top tether.

Because the Driver & Center position share a Lower Anchor, it is never possible to install two car seats – one in the Driver & one in the Center seat – with both using the Lower Anchors, as 2 car seats can never be attached to the same Lower Anchor.

In most cars the top tether point is located on the back of the vehicle seat. Sometimes you can find it lower down at the base of the backrest, and in some cars it’s on the floor of the boot.

As soon as you install a forward-facing car seat with a harness (or convert your rear-facing to forward), you must use a top tether. Top tethers are meant to secure forward-facing seats to keep them from tipping forward in the event of a crash. Without the tether attached, a seat can be thrown 4 – 6 inches forward.

The top tether is used when a car seat or booster seat becomes forward-facing, and needs to be held tight against the seat back. When children and their car seats are under 65 pounds, it is always safer to use both the top and lower harnesses together to secure the car seat to the car, suggested the NHTSA.

If your car doesn’t have top tethers anchors — some older models don’t — your car dealer can retrofit them for any car dating back to 1989. Just step into a dealership; they can do it for you or provide you with an anchor kit.

Tether use mitigates serious neck injuries by reducing head acceleration and neck loading. By attaching the carseat to the vehicle more tightly, the tether allows the vehicle and carseat to absorb more of the crash forces, not the child.

Child car seats and booster seats with top tether straps cannot be used in the front seat unless an anchorage point has been retro-fitted, however, booster seats weighing less than 2 kg do not require a top tether strap.
