Hi,
We have a Toyota Camry 08 and a Radian RXT. Right now the seat is RF in the middle using the seat belt. This causes the seat to slightly lean to the non-buckle side.
The car does not have separate LATCH Anchor points for the middle seat. I was wondering if I am allowed to use the inside LATCH anchor points from the driver side and passenger side???? (I could not find anything about it in my Camry manual.)
Thanks for your help!!!!

No, you can't. Nor would the Radian allow it. Likely your manual says "You have lower anchors for the outer seats" or something like that. Which means for the outer seats only. No borrowing, no center, just the outer.

You can try tethering it in the opposite direction and see if that helps the tilt. Otherwise, if it's less than 20 degrees, don't stress it. It's a parental OCD thing, not safety.

Great! Thank you for your reply and clear answer! :)
It is definitely less than 20 degrees: my husband does not even see the tilt and I have tried to measure it to show him without success. OCD it is. :)
Thanks again!
