My DS reached the RF height limit on his SF CA (2010) and CA65 (2012) so we've turned them FF (sob!!) and I'm having issues with the harness, which also happened RF but I had access to the splitter plate in the back of the harness and don't now that we're FF. I've also had a tech look and was disappointed in her assessment of the seats, so I'm back here to ask for help.
Once DS is sitting in the seat, I cannot tighten the harness adjustment strap more than a teeny tiny bit, which is no where near tight enough for him. I have to remove him, re-tighten the harness and then put him back in with the tight straps which is practically impossible to get over his arms and buckled. When it was RF installed, I just pushed the splitter plate (where the harness straps are attached) to assist it past the 'corner' it must take to help tighten. I'm the only one able to put him in the seat because the belts are so tight to do up without being able to adjust the harnest after he's in it, no one will attempt to buckle him in.
We've gone over all the straps and are all put together as suggested in the manuals. I've looked all over the internet for help on this issue and found nothing.
The funny thing is, I have this problem with both the old version of the seat and the new, and in both my 07 Saturn Relay van and my 02 Mazda Protege sedan (which was a really hard install).
What might I be doing wrong? Why hasn't anyone else complained of this?
