Thanks Tracy. You are probably right on this. I have had bad
experiences with the quality of service rendered by Honda dealers in
the past. On the other hand I would think that answering a simple
question whether it is possible to mount the carseat on the side of
rear seat rather than just in the center should be within the
competence of a dealer. If they said "yes", I would have gone and
purchased the Operator's Manual. If the answer was "no" I would have
not spent the money. That is all I expected from the dealer. At this
point, I purchased the OM anyway and it should arrive any time now. I
was busy and could not explore the links you sent but will do so.
Thanks again!

Konrad
