We have a 1997 subaru legacy wagon--like all other or many other subaru, there is a weird hard plastic bit at the base of the middle back seat that seems to interfere with safe car seat installation.

how have you dealt with this?

we are moving up to a covertible seat for our 6 mo old soon and have purchased a britax roundabout--she will be rear-facing and we plan to use the tether as highly recommended

have you had problems or successes with this set-up?? has anyone had a similiar set-up checked out by a CPS or police, etc?
thank you!!
