We are thinking of installing the
Safeguard car seat (not the "Go" model) in our 2004 MDX, which does not have side curtain airbags. Would the same comment re rear side curtain airbags apply to the
Safeguard car seat?
What about the
Radian 80 and no rear side curtain airbags? Also, I do have the option of installing either one of these in an Infinity M35 that does have rear curtain air bags, but in the Infinity I would need to remove one or
both of the seats often whereas in the Acura they would be more permanent.
Am I correct in thinking that the
Safeguard car seat would be much easier
to take out and reinstall than the
Radian 80? I have read that the
Radian 80
can be tricky to install. I was leaning toward the
Radian 80 in the MDX, but maybe the
Safeguard car seat in the Infinity would be a better choice?
