My child must still seat rear-facing (she is actually too tall for this, but the limits don't take height into consideration, only age & weight, which she is under). The center lap belt is too long - I may have an upholsterer shorten it - to firmly hold any child seat. We are currently using the Graco Snug Ride which kind of works in the car. We tried several convertable car seats, but ran into the same problem. The center belt (the receiver end) is too long & interferes with the locking part of the child seat. I purchased the anchor bolt from Subaru, but do not understand how to use it to fasten the child seat. Can anyone explain it to me? Has anyone else found a solution to this problem? Unfortunately, we are not financially able to simply go out & purchase a different vehicle at this time. I travel 23 miles one way to take my child to her caregiver's home & need her to be safe & secure. Thanks for your time!

The anchor bolt is used to secure the child seat when it faces forward,not back.When you place a child seat in the car facing backward you only have to anchor the seat bottom,the back of the seat will stay.If you neeed help you can go to your local fire department and they will help you place it in properly.I would reccomend that.
