Werecently got aapex 65 for my 5 1/2 yr old dd. Wecan't get it installed with aseatbelt though. It intallsgreat, not moving at all, with latch. ut thewaywe need to have our seats,we have no latch there. Wehavea honda odessy,andmy dh seemsto think that it has smething to do with theway thewheel well is, the seatbelt sits funny.
Weare going to take it to a seat inspection, but was hoping to get some ideas. We got it so she could stayharenessed for longer.
sorry for all typos, my laptop has a mind of its own:o

Can you describe why you can't get it installed? We also have one and I have noticed that it is a little harder to get it in tight in certain positions in our silhouette b/c of how high the slot is that the belt comes through. I usually put my knee in it and jump up and down on it while yanking on the belt and it eventually cooperates!!! (Of course I'm 8 mos prego, so the extra helps a little bit ;) )

1st look close to make sure that the base is not moving 1" or more on the vehicle cushion -- the Apex often just feels like it's moving, but really the plastic is just kinda bendy :o
Which seat position are you installing? Middle row, 3rd row, captain's chair, center or outboard bench :confused: You should get a very secure install if the vehicle seatback can recline: recline, install tightly & then bring the seatback upright again (you might need help to get it straight)
