Speaking of RS growing up, this is a good ongoing parental thread, especially for those expecting their first kid soon and have questions on baby gear.

If you're installing your car seat in the centre you need to install it via seat belt rather than the Lower Anchors. The Lower Anchors are only used for the outboard positions only.

Hard to tell within the picture but you also have to ensure that the child seat doesn't touch the front seats.

OCGStrike - Good stuff.

As a suggestion, given the recent scrutiny of the GR86 post where warranty was denied (likely not applicable to your case) it would be a good idea to blur our your license plate in case ICBC gets involved for any reason.

still the most fun - nothing puts a smile on my face like cranking this thing up after a couple of weeks and going for a blast.

TIL.
Spent some time doing some more research, and yep.. only the side seat anchors are 280mm. So I guess I can't do a center seat config in either of my cars. Good thing I learnt how to set this up properly before the baby arrives, lol.

Nice that you guys have access to a covered area in the paddock. At CTMP, it's full blown sun and it gets brutal.

You should be able to install it in the centre still. Just use the seatbelt method instead. The base has a belt path where you can use that for the install. Just make sure to check the manual for the child seat, some belt path installs can be tricky and a lot of them doesn't require you to lock the seat belt (common mistake).

The iq turns out to be actually shorter than the beat, and it's not in the kei-class! These two cars make parking a breeze in HK sized spaces.

Victoria's such a pretty city.
I was in total awe of this old "residence" of Robert Dunsmuir. Nothing beats old money. The gaudy 20-40mil+ dollar mansions in Vancouver cant hold a candle to how inspiring this castle is



Then you got his son's castle (always trying to upstage the old man)
