#2030 of 2998 Re: Car Seats Anyone [metmdx] by jay_24 Mar 28, 2007 (5:05 am)
Replying to: metmdx (Mar 27, 2007 5:00 pm) Are the car seat resricted to the outside positions? Why not 2 car seats on the 60% side, leaving the 40% to slide and access the rear?   For a short time we had 2 car seats and a booster in our Tahoe. It worked fine with the two car seats on the larger side. Granted they were not the newer "latch" install models and fastened with the seatbelts.

#2032 of 2998 Torque Steer by russstan Mar 29, 2007 (3:55 pm)
For those of you that have either an Outlook or an Acadia that is front wheel drive only (Not AWD) do you notice any tendency to torque steer (i.e pull to one side) upon rapid acceleration? Replies to this message: hipreck (Mar 29, 2007 4:01 pm)

Replying to: russstan (Mar 29, 2007 3:55 pm) I have FWD and do not notice any torque steer at all. At 275hp and around 5000lbs of car, it shouldn't be a problem.

Replying to: jay_24 (Mar 28, 2007 5:05 am) I was thinking that, but I don't think the Acadia is wide enough to fit two on the '60' side...I haven't looked but my guess is the Tahoe's a bit wider, enabling 2/60. I'm contemplating walking into the dealer, car seats in hand to test, but I think that might be pushing it Replies to this message: loach (Mar 29, 2007 6:00 pm) 62vetteefp (Mar 29, 2007 7:18 pm) jay_24 (Mar 30, 2007 5:04 am) brutus22 (Mar 30, 2007 5:10 am) jay_24 (Mar 30, 2007 5:16 am) metmdx (Apr 02, 2007 4:57 pm) mchappell (Mar 30, 2007 5:56 am)

Replying to: metmdx (Mar 29, 2007 5:09 pm) If they want to sell a car, the dealer will be happy to let you test your car seats. I've heard of other people doing exactly what you're talking about.
#2036 of 2998 2 car seats by jsantangelo Mar 29, 2007 (6:30 pm)
I think you can fit 2 on the60% side.   The inside one would have to use the safety belt. The LATCH system would have to be disconnectedanytime you movethe 40% otherwise.

Replying to: metmdx (Mar 29, 2007 5:09 pm) I can put 3 booster seats in my 2nd row of my Envoy, if that helps.
#2038 of 2998 Re: Car Seats Anyone [metmdx] by jay_24 Mar 30, 2007 (5:04 am)
Replying to: metmdx (Mar 29, 2007 5:09 pm) Test those car seats! Some sales people looked at me a bit funny until I had problems fitting them in and they couldn't do it either. If your paying $30K+ for a car/SUV/van be sure your happy and the seats fit.   I'll guess they will fit because according to the specs the Outlook/Acadia is 2" narrower than a Tahoe and 1" wider than the Honda Pilot. We have extra room in the Tahoe and almost bought a Pilot. The seats fit in the Pilot, but it was closer. The Trailblazer was out for us because 3 across didn't work well and forced using the rear seat.   Of course this all depends on your child seats and/or booster seats. Narrowist booster I've seen is about 16 inches. Widest child seats are 20ish. Then you need a little room between them to get them buckled and unbuckled.   The Outlook/Acadia is in the picture for replacing our 03 Tahoe. Only concern is missing middle headrest in second row.   I've seen 3 Acadias and 1 Outlook one the road this week. Sharp looking SUV.

Replying to: jay_24 (Mar 30, 2007 5:04 am) Just curious have you tried the Mazda CX9 on this car seat issue, just wondering.   B. Replies to this message: jay_24 (Mar 30, 2007 5:16 am)
