Question 2 dr Honda Accord 97 - no latch

My husband is trying to install a Britax Monarch and Peg Perego infant seat in our 2 door 97 Honda Accord. The car does not have the latch system and has shoulder/lap belts (which give too much) on the outside seats so the base doesn't feel very secure. The PP can't be installed in the middle with the lap belt because there isn't enough room on the side to buckle the seat belt for the Monarch. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

The Monarch shouldn't be a problem. You can pull the belt out all the way and lock it for the child riding in the Monarch if you want.

With a locked belt on the PP there should be no give at all. Are you locking the belt and adding weight to the base to install it, then making sure all of the slack is out of the lap belt? It should give at all.

You might also need to twist the buckle stalk (female end) if the buckle is in the belt path. You can twist up to 3 full twists.
