We've got our daughter in a Radian 80 and recently turned the seat FF. Per the manual instructions, we added the SafeStop strap when we turned the seat around. Since turning the seat, I've found it almost impossible to pull the harness tight enough. It takes my full body weight yanking on that thing to get it to move, and once it won't budge any more I still don't feel like it's getting quite tight enough (not to mention I'm sweating by the time I'm done!). I've reinstalled the seat twice, and my husband did it a third time, all to no avail. We're not sure if it's the SafeStop strap that's causing the issue or not. It's definately causing more friction, but I don't know that it's so much friction to cause the tightening to be so difficult. She weighs about 25 lbs. so there's plenty of slack that needs tightening.
We've got our 4-year old son in the same seat and haven't had any problems with tightening the harness on his, maybe because he's so much bigger and doesn't require as much strap to pull through to be tight enough?
Any suggestions on something to try? Every time I put her in the car, I feel like she's just not as secure as I'd like her to be and it makes me so uneasy.
