What's everyone using for car seats who have a SCREW? I know Britax has car seats that work with the inflatable seat belts.

New to the forum and figured this is the place to ask a question...

I'm picking up my new Raptor Monday when it hits the dealership (wife thinks Im going to run errands LOL), and I just looked at the digital window sticker.

I'm picking up a Raptor because a car seat renders my GT350 useless which is why my 1.5 yr old Shelby only has 5k miles on it.

The Raptor should be a cool enough "dad" vehicle but when I looked at the window sticker I realized it has the giant sunroof option.


Is the giant sunroof option going to put the sun right in my lil buddies eyes the whole time I'm driving around??? I mean hes literally facing the roof of the car. Is the glass pretty tinted or am I going to have to have to put something on there to block it out?

Like I said this is probably a dumb question but I figured you guys that already have your trucks might be able to offer up some input.

Thanks

Get it limo tinted, you will have zero glare and still use it. I do it on all my personal cars trucks.

I have half a dozen Recaro Car seats spread around a bunch of cars at home.

Man, the last warm day we had, i side a guy in a Mustang GT convertible with his dog harnessed in the back seat

epically hanging his head out the side, ears flapping in the wind. That dog also knew he/she was in a ‘cool dad car’.

I’m lucky if Henry Tudor doesn’t drool a quart of slobber all over my interior and exterior if the windows are down. He’s an average traveller at best and man I did not appreciate how hard dog slobber is to clean up.

Definitely not a dumb question and you've got some helpful answers here.

I'd recommend not only getting tint on the sunroof, but go with a ceramic film so when you want the light, but not the heat, you'll have a quality heat-rejecting film up there as well.

Have the same thing in mine. My youngest is a little older but loves the sun roof. If I could only keep his little ass from wanting to stand on the seat and hang out when I pick him up from school it would be better. O well the joys of having kids.

Britax Roundabout G4.1. However, side seats have latch and middle seatbelt isn't inflatable so I never installed it using an inflatable belt.

My daughter stopped messing around in her seat after our first trip to the desert.
