I'm in a bit of pickle here. I have a 2007 Eos and I'm about two weeks away from the due date for my first baby. I went by my dealer the other day because my husband I were having trouble installing the rear-facing infant car seat that we've purchased (Graco Snugride). And the usual service advisor I deal with, who's normally quite good, was stumped as well and basically told me I should consider getting a Routan! Now, yes, I realize the Eos is not the most practical car for babies but it is my primary vehicle and I'm not in a position to buy a new car...at least not in the next two weeks!
The service advisor is calling Volkwagen to try to find out exactly how this can be done...if it can be done. Odd part about this is if you go to the Nat'l Highway Traffic & Safety Administration website and put in my zip code, my VW dealership is the second name that comes up for an inspection site!

Just wondering if anyone else out there has attempted this crazy feat and if you have any wisdom for us?

Thanks very much!

No children for me, but with some google research I found this:

This website has a review that seems to say you can only install car seats for infants (less than 1) or children 5 and up. However, this website has some people who discuss their install procedures. The general consensus seems to be that as long as you have a child seat which doesn't require an upper tether device it should be easy to install using the LATCH system.

Hope it helps.

Sorry but can you help to explain what's the problem encounter? Eg. You have problem getting the latch secure or etc? I know the rear seat belt don't "Lock Up" vs other rides which upon fully retract the belt, it will lock up the belt till it get back to the fully retract position.

Hope your clarification of your problem will help others to jump in too.

In the UK we have ISO fix system which allows us to clamp car seats to the chassis in the rear... Do you have those?

My kids are older now, so they just have front facing strap in ones... Cheap and cheerful!

Car Seat

I've had a mamas & papas rear facing car seat in the front seat with the air bag off no problem, fits great. Now my child is older the britax ISO fix system also fits perfect using the ISO fix in back or by seatbelt in the front.
