So I have a friend who asked me to help her adjust her RF Marathon more upright in her van since she thought her husband did it incorrectly. I have my Decathlon installed with LATCH so I don't have any experience installing it with the belt (yet ). It was waaaay too reclined, but when we fixed that we were only able to get the one farthest away from the buckle to actually lock into place - they were both locked prior to adjusting the seat. The other side closest to the buckle kept popping open. So we just ratcheted the seat belt instead. At first I thought it was a defect with the seat, but another friend with a Decathlon says that the manual states that only the side farthest away from buckle actually needs to be locked. I know I could check my manual to verify, but that require me to uninstall my seat which I don't really want to do if I don't have to.
So does anyone know off hand what the correct installation is? One lock off or both? I also wanted to verify my understanding that you use either the lock offs or the ratcheted seat belt, but not both. Is this correct?
