[200q20v] child seat

[DAK]

When I got a tether in my '91 200, They offered three positions (left, 
middle, right). Since there are three seat belts, I'd think you could 
put the seat in any position. We've used the passenger side. In 
retrospect, with one child, the middle would have been better (for the 
child, no the rear passenger).

Handy; you can take the child in/out without waking them; the seat also has provisions for a belt across the top, in case you want to use it in a second car (or just buy a second base).
