Ds's boot on his xtsl will not stay. I was told by Russ today to take a phillips head screwdriver and tighten the metal tab back down. It is spring loaded and it came loose and would not stay in the slot on the bottom of the seat. About 3 hours later I went to take the seat out of the car and it is back the way it was.
Of course, what did he say about what I can do if I cannot get the base to stay? Nothing, but that it is safe to use without it, and they crash tested it that way... the reason they say it is required is because it makes for a "perfect" install everytime.
Oh how I love Russ.
Anyway, if I cannot get it to stay I may have to turn ds on the way home. I have the other xtsl in the explorer, but I brought it incase ds wet his seat (he's potty-training). I didn't bring the boot for it since I could just move the one on ds's seat over (actually that is my excuse since I forgot it, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it )
