Okay i will keep this short - just wondering if i am crazy, because i noticed for the first time today that:
When the belt in the 3rd row outboard passenger side is pulled flat from its source (eg the side of the van and below the seat on the side) without twisting (like it should be) - pictured here:
This is the position of the "tongue" part of my belt!!!!
In order to buckle the seat belt, you have to twist the "tongue" part out, which looks like this:
I have never installed a car seat using the seat belt in that position nor has any adult ever ridden back there - so this is my first time trying to actually USE the belt.... and i am completely like - what gives???!!!
Am i crazy? Is that wrong? The other outboard position is NOT like that. No twisting is involved to get the "tongue" to be on the correct side of the belt to buckle.
Can this be fixed at the dealer???? It's a 2005 Sienna XLE if that matters at all....
*****Oh and also note - i was simply trying belt fit on my almost 5 yr old in the TB - he doesn't ride in it while the car is moving :thumbsup: And yes, i know the belt goes UNDER the armrest while in use, but i wanted to show pics that illustrated my problem, not proper use
