Question Safe FF Install Possible in 3rd row in a 2014 Dodge Caravan?

[Diono RXT Help]

In Canada and wondering if anyone has successfully installed a FF Diono RXT with the seatbelt in the 3rd row of a 2014 Dodge Caravan? Tips/Advice appreciated. I tried a few times with the locking plate and while I could get the seat stable when I moved it side to side when I tried moving the seat front to back would shift 4-6". Help please!

Not usually, hate to say it.

Try this. Make sure the forward facing recline is out. Recline the backseat if at all possible. Then when you're installing push back with your knee on the front of the seat, and then maybe gently down with the other knee in the seat (as much force as you'd use your hand with, don't go crazy). Then use your hands to pull the slack hard out of the lap belt. If the buckle goes up into the belt path, you can twist it up to three full turns. When you're done, if you've reclined the backseat, pull it back upright (if you do this make sure you leave it a little tiny bit looser than you would because you don't want to break your seat or belt). Then check it. But even with this it's probably not likely. I've heard many times it's just incompatible there.

Are you able to move kids around?

Thank you I will try that. We're attempting to fit 2 Big Kid amp boosters, 2 chicco keyfits (or othe compatable infant seats, suggestions are welcome) and the Diono RXT. We have 2 captains chairs in the 2nd row. We are both tall and are trying to figure the best way to get it all to fit together. I really appreciate the help, I'm extremely pregnant with twins so fitting into the back seat to install car seats is a little more difficult than it usually is. Any suggestions are welcome.

One of the babies may fit in the third row. That may help.
