| Description of the problem | My complaint is that you cannot safely install more than 3 front facing car seats into a mini van. I purchased a 2008 dodge grand caravan with seating for 7 thinking that i would be able to put 5 car seats in safely. There are only 3 top teether anchors, meaning that i cannot put 4 front facing car seats into my vehicle as needed. It seems that most minivans are made this way, and in talking to other parents, it has lead alot of people to install car seats without using to top teether. |
