Okay, I'm at a loss an I could use some help. I just spent I don't know how long trying to install our FPSE into a 2001 Ford Windstar bench middle seat(outboard behind driver). I can get it rock solid every time, it's the angle I'm concerned with. I got it once or so I thought, put DS inside for a test and it seems to be too upright, so I tried again. I have used 2 rolled up towels and one pool noodle and it still seems to be too upright. The manual says to make sure the base of the carseat is flat against the vehicle seat and if so the head shouldn't be too upright (my words not the manuals exact ones). So, how the heck do I know it's not too upright??? Is there anyway to tell easily??? Even when I put DS in there it was kind of hard to tell, his head wasn't slouching forward, but he was definatly not as reclined as he was in his FPSIV. Any thoughts, opinions, ideas, kicks in the head would be greatly appreciated!!!
Oh and one more question.....the harness strap location....DS tends to slump a bit so it was hard to tell exactly where his shoulders were. When I get him set upright his shoulders are slightly above the lowest slots, when he's slouched his shoulders are at the lowest slots. I figure you go with when he's not slouching, but if I do that then I have more trouble getting the harness really tight on his shoulders. Again any thoughts, ideas and especially kicks to the head would be appreciated!!!
