The straps, the rear facing until at least age 1, the buckle on the FF setting, oh and the chest clip on baby's stomach and the harness was loose, that's just what I see

The chest clip and harness tightness look okay to me, though (especially the tightness) it is easier to tell in person than from a video! Personally I am concerned that they show a seatbelt installation with a switchable retractor, and make no mention of alternate ways to lock the seatbelt, or seats with lockoffs. Many seatbelt installations are just like they showed, but many are very different.

There are lots of good things about the video, though. The mention of reading the seat and vehicle manuals is great!

I didn't think the chest clip or harness tightness was horrible either. And I liked how they said not all seat can tether rear facing so check your manual. I did find it funny when they said if you can't get the correct recline, that they brought out a giant pool noodle and said to use that, but didn't mention how or where to use it.

I thought the pool noodle thing was funny too! "Hey, use one of these if you need to... of course I'm not going to tell you how it magically changes the angle of your seat! Ha!"
