Anyone use this brand? I've only heard good things about their company, and the size is right (or so it seems). Any ideas on mounting locations? I've seen some mounting hardware that lets you mount it in front of your seat and you're still able to slide the seat all the way forward and all the way backward.

I have a marine extinquisher, and I mounted mine in the back. I have twin 4 yr olds still in car seats so I was limited where I could put it.

I recommend finding one that is Class A, B, and C. A extinguisher that is certified for Bravo and Charlie fires (like above) will work for Alpha's in a pinch, but the agent wasn't designed for it.

Any recommendations of extinguishers that fit the bill?

good call the one you are looking at isn't even rated for class a fires!. try finding one that is a 5lb a.b.c.

Just remember a little too big is great, a little too small is good by KJ!
