Middle ERF for a Mondeo

3 replies

Hi, anyone know what ERF I can use in the middle seat of a Ford Mondeo? I have the bump thing, am I allowed to use a seat with a leg?
I need to fit there across the back so really need baby in the middle.
Thanks.

The info about use of a leg will be in your car owner's manual - you need to go to the section about installing and positioning child safety seats and see if it says anything about a leg, foot or "stay".

Other than this it's car seat manufacturer dependent and whether the leg will go short enough to accommodate the hump.

If you do need one without leg, Graco Extend R129 is fairly compact and seatbelt fitted.

The best thing though is probably to find a local ERF specialist who is willing to play car seat tetris with you.

Thanks.

I have checked my owners manual, it did not confirm and was pretty unclear on the whole.

I wanted to avoid a visit out with the rascals to be honest, but might just be easier in the long run.

Some of the ERF specialists will come to you - just depends where you are.

If the manual doesn't say you can't do it, then there's no problem if the seat physically fits and the middle seat allows a belted child seat.
