I currently have older dd in a Regent outboard and younger dd in the center RF in an MA I tried a few times to get the Regent in the center I think it's incompatible with that position anyone else have an issue? Also has anyone installed in the 3rd row? I put 2 more seats in the 3rd row and it was the hardest install I have ever done.

I too can't get a solid install with our Regent in the center position (lap belt) in dh Silverado truck. It's due to the long belt stalk even when you twist them 3 full twists. If I remember correctly the seatbelts in the Suburban are just like the ones in the Silverado.

I can get dd Regent in the 3rd row of my Tahoe with little issues. I installed using the short belt path. I had to twist the belt stalk (female end) 3 full (360 degree) twists. I also had it in with the recline bar and top tethered. Depending on when your Regent was manufactured you may not need the recline bar which will help in installation too.

thanks for the conformation i am not crazy :) See i can get the seat in good and solid I do have to do 3 full twists since they are long my issue is for the shorts belt path route(which i have to do) the belt buckle still bulges through and I would be every concerned with her slamming into it in a crash. I wanted her in the middle but they are good the way they are :) and my Regent does need the bar it's pretty new June or july of 2007 thanks again
