RF tether in '02 Accord EX

[meeshl]

I'm having a lot of trouble finding an anchor point for my RF Roundabout.

I'm installing it outboard on the passenger side of an '02 Honda Accord EX.

I've tried hooking the tether on various points of the seat slider mechanism, but it interferes with the movement of the passenger. I'm probably totally dense here, but I can't find anything, and I haven't been able to schedule an appointment with a tech.

Thanks.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

Hey meeshl!

Yes, we dont really recommend attaching any tether to the sliding mechanism of the front seats. Not only can the passanger not move the seat, but it can also rip and shread the webbing of the tether strap. Try to find something on the floor of the seat thats not attached to the seat slider, but attached to the frame of the vehicle. If you dont have any luck finding anything, make an appointment with a tech, and they should be more then happy to help you out!

There are some posters at www.car-seat.org who have successfully tethered rear-facing seats in the newer Honda Accords (2003, for sure, but possibly other years as well).
