Hi,
I just purchased the Graco Platinum Cargo booster seat since DS is fast outgrowing his Britax Roundabout. I just tried installing it in my 1997 Honda CRV, but it doesn't seem to get super tight. The problem is, I push my knee down hard on the seat and it gets tight, but than I have to install the lock-off clip. It seems impossible to get the lock-off clip on at the proper location, and than click it into the seatbelt lock. Did I give up too easily (is there a trick?), or is there no way to really get a tight fit using the lock-off clips?
I know this wouldn't be an issue if we had cars with latch, but we probably won't be buying a new car anytime soon. Would any of the other booster seats (graco, evenflo, etc) work better with a car without latch? I got a great deal on the seat ($30 including tax from Toys R Us - brand new - used the coupons last week and the CS gave me $30 off since the box was open, but everything was still sealed).
Thanks!
