I just bought the Huskey and am having a very difficult time getting it to be secure - the bottom of the seat shifts everywhere and the straps are extremely difficult to tighten. We are using the latches and the recline bar as suggested, but are still not having any luck. I also have 2 Marathons which are extremely easy to install and don't shift anywhere (so I have a good frame of reference). Does anyone know if this is an issue with the Huskey because of it's size or are we doing something wrong? Any info. would be helpful.

Well, I figured out my own problem- so I figured I'd post it (just in case someone else finds difficulty). First, it is necessary to install the recline bar and thread the belt UNDER it before you latch it. Then you must thread the belt back through the front of the seat (there are 2 openings in the back of the seat which lead into the front of the seat). My problem was the threading back into the seat (that makes a huge difference in the tightness of the seat). If anyone has this issue, I hope this post helps.
