Random seat check

So my granny is in the hospital (whole other thread), as my sister and I were leaving tonight, a manboy (about 18 years old) was fiddling in the backseat of his car. He straightens up to smoke his cigarette :rolleyes: and yells to us across the parking lot asking if we knew anything about car seats!! Well of course I do. (My sister gets all parnoid with her keys Edward scissorhands and her mace out.). He has the infant base in with the shoulder belt (not under the plastic thingies and twisted) and 1 latch hook connected (the other was still connected to the seat). He seriously didn't have a clue.

I told him to pick one, that most times with an infant seat the latch would be better because of the tilt. And then I showed him how to tighten it. He seemed really in a rush then. Why'd you ask for help then?!? I added a couple basic instructions before he was hurrying off. Hopefully the baby is ok.
