Hi, I am trying to install a RF Chicco Keyfit 30 base in a 2001 infiniti i30, 1 year before the LATCH system was built-in.
When I install the base with the right-rear shoulder belt, the receiver/buckle extends too far, and I am unable to use the belt lock on the car seat base.
However, if I use the right shoulder belt and cross over to the center receiver/buckle, it works just fine. I am able to lock the belt with both the seat belt lock and the car seat base.
The base is stable, with less than an inch of movement left, right, or forward.
When I went to have the installation inspected, they won't sign off because this not a listed method in the vehicle or car seat manual.
Do you think there is anything inherently unsafe about using the right shoulder belt clicked in to the center receiver?
It is a positive connection to the vehicle, without compromising and components (such as twisting the cord to the buckle).
Please let me know what you think or any suggestions.
Thank you,
Jonathan
