This is not a complaint about a vehicle accident, however it is a complaint about a vehicle design when installing a car seat. On the 2008 Honda Odyssey there is an 8th seat that is in the middle row center; it is called a magic seat. The dealer told me that a car seat can be installed safely in this magic seat. However, after I purchased the car I was unable to find a car seat to fit this seat that could be installed correctly (meaning not moving more than 1 inch in any direction). I tested many models of cars seats including: britax, graco, evenflow, sunshine kids, etc. The owner's manual of the Odyssey is very vague on whether or not a car seat can be installed in this seat and after calling Honda USA custom service, the agent could not give a straight answer on whether this seat was designed to hold a car seat or if any car seats were tested by Honda. I complained to the dealer, but since I had already purchased the car, they only directed me to the Honda USA costumer service.
