New dad... Stupid question!!

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.

I have 4 Recaro's myself. Wish they were still offering them in the US.

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.

Nice choice, about the part where "your wife think's you'll be out running errands"...hope she's not expecting you to arrive in a new minivan

Cool choice and welcome to the forum!

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.
