I've read quite a few things on here about the lap only belt installs, I have a radian rfing in both an 06 F-350 supercrew cab, and a 96 chev cavalier 2dr. in the center of both seats is the lap belt that you pull one end to tighten, and 90% of the time the locking latchplate works just fine, but we're moving the seat back and forth, depending on which vehicle DH brings home on Friday nights, not only that, but 90% isn't good enough for me, as if we are in a crash, there is always the chance that what I thought was in the 90% of my installs where it works is actually in the 10% when I didn't get it just perfect.
So my question is, what can I do to make sure that the seatbelt will lock 100% of the time. In the truck there is the option of putting the seat outboard, which I do most of the time, unless we're transporting extra people and need the extra shoulder belt, but in the car it will only fit in the middle, an outboard install would have me (the passenger) dangerously close to the airbag (as good as sitting on the thing) and absolutely no way of getting DS into the seat comfortably (for me as I'm 7.5 months preggo)
