I need your help! I had a mom come in Saturday (that contacted me through craig's list, lol) w/ a ffing EFTA for her 16 mos old. She had read the info and seen the video I had sent her before coming in so was very open to him being turned back rfing. We tried to put him in the middle w/ l/s belt and I could only get the stalk twisted 2x so I couldn't get it tight b/c the stalk kept running into the dumb knob on the side. We then tried LATCH outboard, same problem. We then tried the l/s belt outboard w/ 3 twists of the stalk and got it in tight. It was still hitting the knob though, but we thought it would be o.k.
Mom just e-mailed me saying she couldn't get him out that afternoon and she's not sure if it had to do w/ the buckle hitting the knob or not. She went ahead and put him outboard w/ LATCH and tether (this means I did my job well and I'm proud of myself, lol) and he's in nice. She wants him rfing though! So, any ideas? I told her to get a pool noodle and try reclining the seat more (it could go back more safely) to pull the knobs away from the buckle more. She said if that doesn't work for her, she'll come to the check I'm doing on the 10th and see me then. IF this doesn't work, I need ideas b/c I have no idea where to go from here and I hate to have her go get a new seat if she wants to keep him rfing and I also hate to have him ffing when she knows it's safer and wants him rfing. Thanks!
