For those of you who have to put a Toddler seat in the back seat, Im sure you know how tight it is back there. Along with the safety issue that there are no Shoulder seatbelts in the back to safely secure a child seat. I was finally successful in securing my car seat with a LATCH system (ISOFIX).
Now the car seat is very secure and safe.

First go to Walmart and buy 2 400LB. anchors.
Remove seatbelts in the back seat and secure anchors with the seatbelt bolts. Tighten it down with a 14mm wrench.

Attach one end of the Latch strap to the anchor as show below.

Adjust Latch strap to the proper length; enough to secure the child seat properly. Put the child seat in its position and attach other end of the Latch strap to the remaining anchor.

Finally, take the back center LATCH strap from the car seat and route it behind the back seat. Anchor it to the metal hook in the trunk.
This final strap keeps the car seat in the upright position.

My buddy Baker just used an old motorcycle tie-down over the back seat to the rear like that. Dunno if he anchored the bottom as well, but I'm sure it's safe.

Proof positive that neccessity is the mother of all invention. Happy driving to you and your tike.

That's pretty awesome. I have the same carseat. How do you feel about putting it in the front seat w/o an airbag?

What model seat is that? I've been looking for one that fits back there.
