Issue with lightweight locking latchplate?

Still trying to figure this out, so please bear with me. :eek:

I am considering getting a RA50 to use in dh's Dodge truck. Right now, I have a RA installed rfing in the center using the lockoffs. No center LATCH, there is a lightweight locking latchplate. I'm concerned that without lockoffs on the RA50, I may have trouble with the seat tilting or that the install will loosen over time. Anybody have any input?

I'm also liking the idea of the lack of HUGS and the supposedly better harness adjuster on the RA50. I'm wondering, too, if the LATCH bar on the MA might make it harder for my girls to buckle their boosters on either side of munchkin.

I know I can pick up a MA at Albee for $170 or $180, but I'm really not loving the covers for that price. :eek: I was considering the RA50 in swap and buying the Hannah MA cover in swap, making the parental decision to use a MA cover on a RA50.

It definitely won't cause the seat to tip, and I have never had a problem with a LLL loosening. I really don't think it will be an issue, and if it is simply flip it over. :thumbsup:
