I'm trying to install our Britax Diplomat rf in the center of our 09 Forester. (The car that hates carseats I am learning.)
I got a pretty snug fit using the built in lock-off farthest from the seat belt buckle, but then when I gave the seat belt one last tug just to make sure I couldn't get it any tighter - I mean by grabbing the shoulder portion of the seat belt between the locked lock-off and belt buckle - the seat belt started sliding out of the locked lock-off. I noticed the seat belt was slightly bunched, so I tried re-installing with it not bunched and the seat belt still slid.
I'm thinking it probably shouldn't be able to do this?
Also, the outboard seat belt latches are *slightly* coming out from under the carseat. Is this a problem? I took a picture but I'm not sure you can tell.
eta: better picture of what I'm talking about with the outboard belt latches.
