I have the same problem with my Explorer 2005. Our Front Facing seat leans no matter how tight we get it in. Has anyone found a seat that fits better in the center of the Explorer without leaning?

The only seat i have found that fits without leaning in my 02 explorer is a radian. And it is a dream to install in any of the seats of it. My siggy pic shows it. HTH!

Is it leaning because you have the seatbelt locked manually? have you tried using a locking clip instead (assuming your car seat allows it)?

I have never had a ff seat in my '03 explorer yet (all the kids in my life are still rf), but I assume any seat installed with a locking clip (as opposed to a locked belt) would fair okay. :confused:

Or, did I miss something? Does the '06 have a funky hump in the middle or something else causing an issue?

My mom has an 04 Eddie Bauer Explorer, so the seats might be a bit different. She basically has three single seats. The two outboard fold down and tumble and the middle seatback folds down. Right now we have a Safeseat base installed perfectly. I have also tried a Marathon in there ff and it didn't lean. I can see where a wider based seat would lean because the middle seat is narrow. Which seat are you using?
