[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 155529, member: 2459"] Not to drag this out even more but I forgot seat belt tightness. As I described on infant seats, they ARE designed to move. This is why, even if you have the seat belted in tight, it will still have up/down give at the non belted end. It's supposed to. It's the side to side movement you don't want. With front facing seats, however, you don't want it to move. Infant seats, I think, are the easiest to install if you use one with a base. When you are belting the base in, just put some weight on it once the seat belt is routed through and buckled. Once you have weight on the base, simply tighten the seat belt and you should be good. For front facing seats, put a knee in it if you have to but it's the same concept. Tighten it down as much as possible whether you are using the seat belt of the L.A.T.C.H. system. And use ONLY the seat belt/top tether strap OR the entire L.A.T.C.H. system. NOT both! If the seat is in tight, you shouldn't be able to move it more than an inch either way. Generally though, it shouldn't really move at all. [/QUOTE]
