testing a seat before buying

I am heading out to the baby stores tomorrow (Most likely babys world) and am looking to buy a new seat for my daughter, she is 15 months 24lbs not to sure on height...

We have a 97 grand prix 4dr that we are putting the seat in & I wonder how good the sales people are at testing installs?

We are thinking about the new sunshine kids radian xt, and we will get them to try it in our car first off, but I wonder how do I know forsure they know what they are doing? Any suggestions on who to talk to out there? I am nervous to end up with a seat that dosent fit well like the last one, the seatbelt was tricky to get to work , and it tightened the seat so much that is was so hard to tighten the harness since it was so snug against the seat - even though the store tried it in our car first off we always struggled to tighten it up.

Baby's World is actually pretty good--although they're not trained technicians. You can ask them if they're trained technicians maybe to make them realize they SHOULD be, but as far as the stores out there they're the best place to go to. TJs Kids, by contrast, not so good.

Baby's World is where I shop.
