We have a Radian XTSL rear facing in a 2004 Toyota Sienna in the captain chair on the passenger side. I noticed the other day that the LATCH was completely loose to the point I could pull it out and move it around. The top of the seat is braced against/under the headrest of the front seat, so I didn't notice the seat was loose I test it fairly often when putting her in or out but it didn't even jiggle since it is braced.
What could be causing this? I've never had a LATCH loosen like this on a Britax or our previous Radian, but we only had the old Radian forward facing.
Do I have a defective LATCH strap?
By the way, is there any way to get the Radian to be more upright when rear-facing so it doesn't take up so much space? I'd like to be able to recline my front seat at least a little especially on long trips.
