I just emailed Regal Lager about an issue with my seat, and then came here to look for a solution and discovered it is maybe a common problem. My baby is 5.5 months about 13lbs and 25", she is on the second harness position. I can not for the life of me tighten my seat when it is in the base. We haven't been taking her out in her seat much now that she isn't opposed to being worn, but putting her back in is a nightmare. I have take the seat out of the base, tilt it and pull the straps from the back then tighten it, and it is still isn't tight enough. So I guess my question is, does anyone have a trick to make this easier? This is the perfect seat for us, and I really don't want to quit using it .
