Our vehicle is going to remain a truck until the beginning of 2011 at the earliest; so until the child is almost a year of age.
We are taking the truck in in my 3rd tri. to have both air bags disabled until we sell it.
We chose the carseat to the right. Its safety approved, side crash tested, and is for rear facing 5 to 35 lbs..... front facing 35 to 100lbs!!! We are happy with this choice as it fits very nicely in the center seat without making the gear shift inaccessible.
The reason this seat is a good choice for a single cab bench seat truck is because the base is small and lifts the wide seat up allowing the parents to access their seat belts! We are happy with this choice. It is a safe choice as the number one reason children aren't suppose to be in the front seat is due to air bags. Thankfully, we have figured out how to take them out through the dealership!
Anyone who has a single cab truck with a bench seat should definitley do your homework but it is definitley possible to make it work!

Once installed, even now if you already purchased it, you should go to a car seat inspection and they will check to make sure the install is correct. We did that with our first seat and really need to go back now that he is in a convertable.
We haven't purchased yet; we aren't allowed to buy anything until we hear the heartbeat :)
We were indeed planning to have it inspected as I am only like completley anal about safety.... especially due to where we live (phx, az) with all the psychotic drivers >.<
Thanks for the advice!!
