Ok, so I knew there were some issues with the Blvd and planes, but whoo-boy, I nearly made us miss our connecting flight.....
I knew I needed an extender, but I didn't realize why - for FF, you have to route the buckles so at least one sits outside of the belt path. I started tightening it down on my first install, and wanted to readjust it, but couldn't get the latch open!!!!!! They had both gone into the belt path, where, of course, there is not room to flip the latch open.
I am thankful that I started to realized what was happening and stopped before I got it any tighter - they were able to unlatch the seatbelt where it attaches to the seat (with difficulty). If they hadn't, they were ready to call a mechanic to meet us upon landing, as I was already causing a bit of a delay. Thankfully, I was too busy fussing with the seat to notice the dirty looks being cast in my direction....
I did learn how to install the seat properly, but geez, what a learning curve.
They really should come with a warning label for plane installations. I really, really, really hope that DD2 grows enough to fit in the seat by herself for the next flight, and the RSTV at our destination.
And the kicker - I took that seat instead of the Radian, as I understood that DH's aunt in Europe did not have latch/isofix in her car - when we got there, what do you suppose I felt in the seat bight?!?!?!:doh:
At least I can now console myself with Belgian chocolates and the hope that I will never see any of those people from the plane again....
