problem #2

(reported on)

Explorer 4WD

  • miles
When installing the infant seat, having problems with the seat being stationary. It seems that the seat belt anchors, ar wider then the carseat, therefore, a lot of sliding from right to left takes place, unless I use blankets to wedge between the carseat and seatbelt. I also have leather seats. If I pull the seat belt tighter, then the baby is leaning too far forward towards back of seat and ball indicator of carseat is not in its correct postion
