I want to install this seat in the middle seat, 2nd row of my suburban. There is a lap belt only there. In reviews I read, this seat was listed as having a lock off. There is no such thing on this seat. I don't think I can get it tight enough. I don't know what to do and I am freaking out because I should have done this sooner and now I am due to give birth any day now! I really don't want to have to put the baby next to the door; I want her in the middle seat but I can't seem to get the seat belt tight enough. Also, these seat belts like to loosen up on their own as time passes (which is why I wanted a lock off) to prevent that problem. Any tips? Ideas?
ETA: I think I got it tight enough. Problems: I had to adjust the recline foot to the highest setting. Otherwise, the seat belt buckle is up to high and won't let the infant seat latch to the base.
Also, as it is, when you put the car seat on the base, you have to make sure you push that corner down because if you don't, it won't latch.
Also, to get the right angle, I slid two of the small floor mats under the back of the base. I figured they won't move because of the no slide backing.
I also put the tail end of the lap belt into the lock off for shoulder belts. Is that ok?
