Seems like we're having one problem after another with this car seat!
The latch strap on our Radian XT needs to be replaced (Diono should be shipping today) and in the meantime we've had to switch to a seatbelt install, which we've NEVER done before. The seat is installed FF on the driver's side captain's chair. My husband had a tough time installing but finally got it tight enough where there is minimal movement at the belt path. HOWEVER,
1.) the angle of the seatbelt just doesn't look right. If you take a look at the attached picture, you can see what I mean. It almost looks as if the belt is going to start twisting and it's super difficult to tighten the belt because we can't adjust the angle of the buckle. Is this right?
2.) I had to tighten the harness yesterday and when I pulled the adjuster UP to tighten, the car seat came with it! While I can't really move the seat side to side, It pulls up and I can slide it forward and backward. It seems the tether is preventing it from sliding forward even more. Does this sound right?
Edit: the image upload was failing, so I've put the photo here:

Thank you for any help
