If the baby is only 9 months old. She must, must, must be rear facing, it's the law and not only size but strength issue as well. Contact your local police or fire department and ask if they have a car seat tech. they will install the car seat the right way and in the best position.
My 2000 Coachman class C has a barrel chair that faced sideways. It can I unbolted it and rotated it 90 degrees so it faced forward. Until my son was 1 year old, his car seat was mounted rear facing and then after that it mounted it forward facing. There is a tether strap that goes from the top down to the base of the barrel chair. My problem is he is now four and outgrowing it. The vehicle doesn't have any shoulder harnesses except in the front seats. There is no place or use for a booster seat.

I have an Alpha Elite booster for my 4 year old. You can strap it in just using the lap belt and use the internal 5 way harness up to something like 65 pounds.
