I am putting this together as a resource for pictures of different carseats and installations. I hope people find it helpful.

Regent installed in 2000 Dodge Stratus

This is the Regent installed on the passenger side of a 2000 Dodge Stratus. I couldn't get a good install in the middle with the lap belt. So, I put it on the passenger side using the long belt path with the lap shoulder belt. I also used the recline bar and tethered the seat as well. The black strap hanging off the seat is the tether strap.













I was able to install a FF Boulevard in the middle seating position with the lap belt only and get a very tight install and tether as well.









Space between the Regent and the passenger side door.









Space between the middle Boulevard and the driver's side door. Just enough room for a small person (size 5 or so) to sit there, POSSIBLY a very small booster. I believe there is about 13 inches or less of space.

2 Regents installed in 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab


Without the recline bar, installed with lap shoulder belt, long belt path. NOT gonna happen, there is no way the kids can sit in it that upright.



See the lid on the bed of the truck???



Got them in at a decent angle that I hope the kids will accept. Can definitely fit a Boulevard between them. Rear or forward facing.







Both are in TIGHT. Shake the whole truck when you tug at the belt path. The kids are only 35lbs, so it doesn't have to be tethered since I'm using the recline bar... which is good because I can't get the tether to tighten with the funky truck tether anchors. Kind of irrelevant since the 4 runner doesn't have tether anchors at all. So they wouldn't be tethered in that either. I removed the headrests which gave me just enough room to install the seats.



Drivers side Regent installed with lap shoulder belt, long belt path, with recline bar. (Took them right back out and put them back in my van, that's why the LATCH connectors are hanging out.)
