OK, is this bad??? I have an 03 civic with a scenera RFing installed in the back seat center using the seat belt. I've never had any recline issues...but the little "foot" on the car seat doesn't lay flat on my seat bottom...its mashed into the back of the car's seat...does that make sense? If it were to touch the bottom of the car's seat...it would be too upright...but if I recline it and use a leveler to make sure its at a 45 degree angle...the foot part of the car seat is mashed into the back part of the car's seat.
Is that right? the seat is SOLID...can't be moved at all. Just wondering if we were missing something.

I think she's talking about the "foot" at the front, which isn't technically called a foot. It does rather look like one, though, as it's seperate from the rest of the base.
I just installed the Scenera in my '07 Civic.
I like how you used three noodles there. Right now I only have one. But it really is too upright still. I have it in with the seatbelt in the middle. It is leaning a bit and I asked the tech (which are pretty bad here) to use the locking clip to not allow it to lean. He told me that it is safer to use the self locking seatbelt. So I guess as long as it doesn't lean too much I can just use the seatbelt. I think it will take two people to get the locking clip in tightly enough.
Also, the tech used some non-slip gripper stuff underneath it. Like really thick shelf liner. He said it made it SAFER. I know that it is OK to use, but I thought that you had to be able to get a really tight install without it as to not give you a false sense of security. It is in there pretty tight though. Not rock solid like my Boulevard, but tight at least.
Sorry for all the rambling. Any input?
