What exactly are these and how does one discern forward-of-the-bight belts from non-forward-of-the-bight belts?
Just curious

my graco snugride says not to use "lap belts forward of seat crease" if that helps.
Reverse belt path=long belt path, like the Regent can use with a lap/shoulder install. The Futura ONLY allowed the reverse belt path. The Husky used to allow the reverse belt path with a lapbelt-only, then changed those rules and only allows the short path with a lapbelt. I had a huge problem with that, having forward-of-the-bight lapbelts in my van that only worked well with the reverse belt path.
So right now there are no reverse belt path options for lapbelts, and only one reverse belt path option for lap/shoulderbelts, the Regent.

Ohhh, okay so long belt path and reverse belt path are one in the same? That makes sense since the lbp on the Regent is kind of reversed of the normal belt install on a seat. Thanks Jenny!!! Now I should go erase my question...hehe JK!

Although the training curriculum states that the only way to help when the vehicle has seatbelt buckles forward of the seatbight is to install a top tether anchor ... in real world situations the best (easiest) method is to use a carseat that allows reverse (long) belt path installation -- however, the Regent is currently the only seat that allows this (& now only with lap/shoulder belts).
