[s-cars] HELP! LATCH retrofit problem

[chris chambers]

Mike,


Good point, and in my S6 that is correct, I don't need/use the mighty tite in the S6. 
All I do in put my knee in the seat and while placing my hands on the seat lift my other foot
off the floor which places all my weight on the seat and I continue to tighten the belt.
In the S6 the car seat can be easily strapped in place with the stock seat belt and won't move.

Now in our Allroad the center position has a three point belt which will not tighten enough that the
car seat won't move around, hence our purchase of the mighty tite. 

For those with 3 point belts or just can't get the belt tightened enough I recommend the mighty tite.

HTH
Chris
