We do have a Calgary tech who's a regular on the forum. She should see this.

For the time being, I would try moving the seat outboard, and try with UAS again. When pulling the strap, make sure you're pulling the tail parallel with the belt, otherwise the strap can get stuck in the adjuster. Also, you have a red foot that you can drop down - I believe it's a pull bar at the back of the base, and then the foot will drop down on the end where the seatbelt goes. I have found that the seat often installs better in vehicles with the foot down - but this will also depend on how sloped your vehicle seats are. You don't want to have the carrier over-reclined, so depending on your vehicle seats this may or may not be an option.
A couple other ideas for middle installation with the seatbelt:
- Double check your vehicle manual to make sure it allows twisting the buckle stalk. Provided it doesn't tell you not to, you can twist it up to 3 full 360* turns. This may help the install.
- Be sure you're pulling the tail of the lapbelt parallel to the belt itself. If you still have too much movement after doing that, you can unbuckle the seatbelt, manually tighten the seatbelt by tugging on the tail - start with shortening the lapbelt by about 2" and go from there, then rebuckle it.
If the seat is going to be compatible in that seating location, then one of those two tricks, or the two combined should allow the seat to install well for you.
