Hi there,

We just arrived on vacation and, after putting all of our car seats in, I realized that my 6 year-old son's seat belt does not appear to be adequately flush against his upper chest/ shoulder. I took some photos as they may be more helpful than my written description... But I am not sure how to upload the pics here. He usually rides in a Britax Parkeay SGL with the high back mode. But, for this trip and the ease of travelling, I took the back off and hence there is no belt loop path for the shoulder belt to slip into... So now there is a space of about 3 finger breadths between the shoulder belt and his upper chest/ shoulder.

Any suggestions? Maybe it would fit better in one of the captain's chairs in the second row as I can move them more easily back and forth.

Thanks in advance!!

Did you rent a Grand Caravan or Town and Country?

I'd definitely try a different seating position, especially if it is one of these vans. If it is, just know the only top tether in the third row is for the middle.

What other car seats do you have with you? We can probably help you come up with a seating arrangement that will work.
