Got our Regent installed..kind of looks reclined..ok?

[MysticalMama0306]

So,we got it installed super tight,doesn't budge. Using long belt path,latch,and tether in the captain chair behind the driver(we have a 2001 Town and Country). I reclined the captain chair to begin with,and DH push it all the way back up at the end,and it looks kind of reclined. The recline bar isn't even touching the seat,but is resting against the back of the seat. The bottom of the regent is sitting flat on the seat.

I got some pretty crappy pictures,as the van is right next to our house,and I'd have to pull it out to get better pictures farther back.

Does it look okay?

How the recline bar is..(bad pic I know!)

mine looks a bit reclined like that. :thumbsup:

The recline bar is tricky at first. If its pushing into the seatback its probably fine :D The first times I tried to install it, the recline bar kept going into the seat bight between the cushions.

The recline bar can do either one - lean on the vehicle seatback or slide into the seat bight. I prefer to have it against the seatback just because I like more upright installs, but however you get the best install is fine.

The recline bar is against the seat back.

So the install is good?

I'm was terrified to install it after reading so many things on here about how hard it was,but it was actually pretty simple!

:shrug-shoulders: Is it good? No one can tell you just by looking at pics online. :) I don't see anything glaringly wrong in your pics, but that's not a very comprehensive check.

Did you follow the instruction manuals (both carseat and vehicle)? Is there less than an inch of movement side-to-side and front-to-back when you check with one hand at the belt path? If yes, then I'd say it's good. :thumbsup:

Yep followed all the instructions. And it doesn't move at all(the van actually shook when DH tried moving it lol).

I need to find a tech in our area as I'd love to get them check but haven't found anyone yet.

That is one thing I cannot complain about: I get rock solid installs every.single.time with the Regent.

It's more upright than mine. :(
