This past weekend, I tried to help my cousin get her Snugride base into her 2003 Subaru Forrester and had a horribly difficult time. :( I tried to install it passenger outboard (since Subaru doesn't recommend center seat installations) using both the seatbelt and LATCH.

With the seatbelt, I was able to get it installed *fairly* tightly, but it still moved about 1", which was too much for my comfort level.

With LATCH, the base moved ALL OVER THE PLACE. I couldn't get even a remotely good install.

I was *so* annoyed. :( I felt terrible that I couldn't help my cousin get the base in the car. I did refer to to a CPST, but there aren't many in her area of New York. :(

Thanks for letting me vent!
