MY car is going to the shop and I've installed my kids' cars eats in DH's car with the seatbelts. One is a Marathon RFing and the other a Nautilus. I'm having a hard time getting them really snug. I almost feel like the seatbelt buckles won't allow me to tighten them more because they are against the seat. I don't know... Do indeed to put a towel underneath? I feel better about the Marathon and it has a towel to help the recline. It doesnt move around as much when i push on it. Thanks!
Eta- the car is a Mazda Protege. |
you can twist the female part of the buckle a couple times before buckling to get it tighter

Also, rocking is your best friend. As you tighten the seat, rock it with your weight on it. Hard to explain....'' Here's a good vid...shows some tips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUxBSHrcOgY |
Re: Tips for tighter install?
Is there no more than one inch of movement at the belt path? If so, you have an acceptable install and it's not necessary to get the install tighter.

Thank you. It does seem to be moving more than 1" so that's why I was concerned. :thumbsup:

Ok I twisted the buckle and re-installed, then took it to a safety check at the fire department and he said it seemed great and was tight enough. That was reassuring. Thanks for the suggestions!
