We just installed the seat with base last night (with a certified police child restraint installer) and were unsure if the base could be used with our LATCH anchors in the center seat position (2004 Ford Focus).  The car owner's manual states that you can use LATCH in center position if, and only if:
<br/>1. the LATCH connections are a non-rigid type (this base's connections are non-rigid, so check)
<br/>2. the Child Restraint can be installed on LATCH anchors that are 450 mm (18 inches) apart.
<br/>From Page 106 of
<br/>"2004 Focus (foc)
<br/>Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

<br/>"A child seat with rigid LATCH attachments cannot be installed at the center rear seat. A child seat with LATCH attachments on belt webbing can be used at the center rear seat unless a child seat at an outboard rear seat is attached to one of these lower anchors. Install a child seat onto the lower anchors at the center rear seat ONLY IF the child restraint manufacturer recommends that the child seat can be installed to anchors that are spaced up to 450 mm apart."
<br/>
<br/>The Chicco manual did not state it, but I wanted to know for sure what our options are.  We installed with the seat belt last night, to be on the safe side.  I wrote to Chicco and then called and talk to a rep.  The rep was very nice and knew the answer right away:  only standard, 11 inch apart, LATCH anchors can be used with this base.
<br/>
<br/>This does not take away from the seat at all, in my opinion, but I wanted to get this information out there to make sure that others who install this seat in a car with a similar set up will know.  We had installed using LATCH in center position at first and it seemed to be a perfect fit, even the certified installer thought so, but because of the 450 mm caveat, I wanted to be sure, and so did the police officer.
