I was having trouble tightening my daughter's harness in her Husky, and found that the adjustor strap had gotten caught under the "8"-shaped ring that holds the crotch buckle in.
Anyway, I noticed while I was playing around that the adjustor strap was threaded through the 2nd position hole for the crotch buckle. Hm... that didn't seem right. So, I looked it up in my manual. There's no pics, but it definitely described what I was looking at as correct. So I looked it up here, but found only one description and no pics.
So... not that I'm ever going to need to move that crotch buckle forward for my little girl, but... seriously? The correct way is with both the adjustor strap and the crotch strap sharing the same hole?
Pics for clarification (also because I am shamelessly addicted to taking pics of carseats):
How it is now/the way it came:
Crotch buckle moved forward to accomodate a bigger child:
Tightened:
Just seems weird!
