Default Re: Can I mount the infant carseat in 91 Civic 3dr DX NOT in the center of the rear seat?

Konrad,

Get the Owner's Manual (OM)!

Every car owner should AT LEAST have an OM.

I have a '95 Nissan...in my OM, it shows HIDDEN car seat attachment
points in the rear seat area as well as how to access and "enable"
them. I suspect your OM would show the same information. I got mine
just recently from Nissan (a beand new OM for this '95 200SX SE, for
only $12 shipped), but they also can be found on EBAY. Maybe Honda
does the same for older cars.

Whatever, get the OM.

Good luck,

John D.
