[A not so smart] question about boosters

Seat belt buckle stalks in the car are short and rigid [Volvo S60]. For the rear centre seat, if a booster seat [I'm thinking mainly backless] is wider than the distance between the buckles that means the booster is not suitable for the position, right? :eek: It would not be ok to place the booster in front of the buckles thus leaving a small gap between the backrest/seat bight and the booster? I do need something that neatly fits between the buckles, correct?

Yeah, fitting between the anchors is ideal. Even if there's no particular safety reason that being on the buckle is bad (wouldn't want to accidentally push on the button and release the belt, which COULD happen if you're on the buckle), it can be sanity-wrecking to try to buckle up (slide the seat, lean around to buckle, slide it back, repeat ad infinitum...)
