Okay, I'm so worn out. I have spent all day trying to make sure that I have installed this seat correctly. DH is 6'2" and he is practically eating the dash, but I don't know if I could get a better angle. I'm 5'1 and even MY seat is closer to the steering wheel than I'd like. I'm going to give it a few days, but I'm thinking of sending it back. At any rate, here are the pictures...it is installed in the center position via shoulder seatbelt (my Chevy HHR does not have middle seat anchors for latch ).
Here is the install with the front seats out of the way...
Here is the install with the front seats in the position that they would be if I was driving and DH was a front seat passenger.
The seat belt path...
The center seat belt after installation...
Tether install...The HHR has REALLY thick front seat tracks...don't know if this is correct or not... (I did learn from reading another thread that I need to turn the tether hook connecting to the D-Ring over)
Pics of DD buckled in...the shoulder straps threaded through the 3rd slot. I put the headrest down as far as I could get it to go (as per directions in the carseat manual)
Let me know what you think. I'm a car seat installation virgin, so please be kind.
