Hello all, I am new here. I recently flipped my nanny child forward-facing because he outgrew rear-facing height-wise in his Chicco Nextfit. However, when I install the seat forward-facing, the seatbelt in my Prius kind of twists due to the angle of the belt path. It is not twisted at all through the belt path, just where shown in the picture. The seat is very secure and doesn't move at all. I just don't like how this looks. Is this safe? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

What I'd do is literally hold the buckle with one hand and make sure it doesn't twist as I'm tightening everything, then let it go once I've gotten everything tight enough that it can't move.

If you're doing that, and this is the outcome, then I wouldn't worry too much. Some belts are just so stubborn they just move no matter what.
