Hi all, we have a Clek Olli in our 2009 Subaru Forester. The Clek fits great and positions our nearly 6yr old (48lbs) perfectly, and we LOVE the seat. Our problem is that the rear seat belt falls back into the seat cushions anytime you reach for it to try to buckle. This is an issue both for our son to try to buckle himself in safely, as well as for us when we (inevitably) have to buckle him in. We took it to the dealer and they said get a seatbelt extender. Now I know that seatbelt extenders change the position of the belt on your child and are not considered safe nor are they made for use with children's carseats. However, I am at a loss with what to do. We really don't want to get a different booster for our son - he loves his seat and we really like it too (for the first time in 6 years we can actually have three people in the back of the car). It's not an issue with seat width - we can all reach the buckle just fine - but the second you grab the buckle and try to buckle it, it slides right back into the seat. Does anyone else have this issue? Has anyone solved this? We keep thinking that the best bet would try to jigger something up to wrap around the seatbelt stem, but have already tried cardboard and tape and it didn't do anything. Any idea!? Anything would be appreciated. This is driving us nuts!
