I went to safekids to get instruction on proper installation of a child safety seat in my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The vehicle was unable to accommodate proper installation because the diameter of the bar at the top of the seat is top large for the hook and the standard child safety seat. Conversations with american Honda (jamal brown) indicated that this is not a problem they can fix, nor was it serious enough to warrant addressing a correction for future models, and that I should try to find another type of safety seat. I investigated other Honda cars, truck and vans. All had the proper size hook to accommodate the safety seat. 6 other popular models of safety seat all have the same size hook. The Ridgeline also has bars for the lower safety seat hooks. These bars are the proper size and comparable to the seat top bars on other Honda models. I check the 2007 ridgelind and they have the same problem.
