FYI: GN not compatible with belt install center middle row 04 Expedition

I tried to install my SIL's new Nautilus in the center seat in the middle row of her 2004 Ford Expedition using the vehicle belt. It is not compatible with the location of the rigid female buckle stalk. When I tried to move the Nauti over so I could access the buckle, I was still unable to tighten the belt enough to get a tight installation. It looks secure because you can't move the seat side to side at all (because the buckle/latchplate is blocking on one side), but I was able to pull the seat forward about 2 inches. LATCH only in that position with that seat! Fortunately DNe is light and will likely not hit the 48 lb limit before he outgrows it by height.

We have an 05 Expedition and had a GN for Isaiah a few years ago. I had the same problem trying to get it in the middle of the 3rd row, and that's the only tether anchor in the 3rd row. It's easy with latch in either position in the middle row!
