Over the weekend I converted my son's Frontier 85 to a highback Booster but I don't think it works right in my car. The seatbelt doesn't really retract well and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same issue. We don't have the same issue with it in my husband's car so I wonder if it is my car, the combo of this highback booster and my car, or if I should just use a backless booster. I don't really like the idea of a backless booster because I like the added cushion but he is almost 7 so it's not like we're talking about a toddler... still it seems extreme to go from harnessed to backless booster.
I drive a 2005 Ford Freestyle and I am trying to use the Frontier on the passenger side, middle row seat. It seems like the seatbelt has to go up to reach the Frontier and then back down to feed through the guides. I figure that's probably what is causing the issue. I did test it to see if it would lock up and tighten if yanked hard and it does, but you have to manually push the shoulder belt back through the guides to get it to retract when in use or after use. That can't possibly be safe.
