Question for those that have kids and a ex-cab pickup

[jaslo]

Hello all, first off all I have a 2001 chevy Silverado extended cab. We will soon be having a newborn and hopefully our 4 year old will be able to go in a booster seat by then. Does anybody know if you can put a booster seat and a infant seat in a x-cab pickup?

No problem. Anchors are there. As a bonus your 2001 has HVAC vents in the back to keep the kiddos cool in the summer time. The new trucks don't.

I thought I only found anchors in the center? Could I be wrong.

Do you even need anchors or can you use the belts?

Anchors are best but you don't need them. Most seats come with a belt option as well. You will need to pull the belt all the way out which locks the belt as you retract. You then retract it with the seat in place. This will keep the seat from moving and you can tighten it pretty good as well.

My extended cab 04 has anchors in the middle for the car seat and I believe even the higher up anchors for the top of the infant seat. (not 100% sure though) The sides just have the seatbelts which are fine for the booster seats.

^^^ This will work.
