In the back row I have 2 rear facing and one is starting to lean slightly.... My husband took it out looked at everything and nothing looks out of place we put it back and a little while later it looks slanted. The level is fine and it's not loose..... We don't know why
@scidg3, if it’s installed correctly and is not leaning because it’s not tight enough. It’s the retractor (that part of the seatbelt that locks when you pull it all the way out and it locks). Do you have a lot of bumps that you go over? If you use a locking clip it will stop the leaning. You can watch YouTube videos on how to use a locking clip.
@squishymommy1 okay! That one is buckled in so makes sense! There is a lot of road work being done.... I'll look into the clip never heard of it before so thank you! 🤗
There is a Facebook page called "car seats for the littles" that have trained people that could help you out. I know locking clips are only for certain types of seatbelts so I'm not sure of that's your issue or not.
@jmedina Oh no! What types do you mean? Like is there a certain type it can't be used on? I do not have a facebook 😩 but I'm looking online about the clips and open to other suggestions 🙂
I'm sorry in not 100% I know it they can be used on seatbelts that do not lock and another type. I'm not sure what kind you have but a little research could probably give you that answer. Are you locking the seatbelt when installing? Meaning pulling it all the way out until it clicks when retracting.
Yes, it's secure @jmedina The manual said we had an inch wiggle room either way and this sucker doesn't even rock! It's just over time it slants a little.... The little bubble is where it needs to be and nothing feels loose. I thought it was the way I load or something I could be doing wrong.
Does the edge of the seat slant up that its on? Is it still tight and the whole base of the seat touching when it does this? It could be what the other suggested but I would look into it before doing so.
@jmedina It's the seat on the back LEFT.... It leans towards the seat that's right beside. It's fully secure, it has a little bubble that says it's level and it's where is supposed to be for rear facing and the base is correctly placed. Honestly I had to ask my husband if it was the one that was latched or buckled because they feel the same.... The slant is the only difference.
