    I Ordered a seat belt from Juliano's to hold down my daughters' child seat....it seems to be abel to loosen up a bit after tightening. Anybody run into this problem?

    Any recommendations for a better belt that won't slip?

    what type of seatbelt? What type of child restraint? If it is a seatbelt with a sliding latchplate, such as the type pictured here: [​IMG]
    the problem may be the angle of pull on the webbing, and where the latchplate sits when routed through the child seat. Here are a couple pics to help explain.
    [​IMG]
    shows the webbing getting close to a 90 degree angle to the latchplate, it could allow it to slip.

    showing how flipping the latchplate will pull the webbing at a greater angle and positively lock the sliding lock bar in the latchplate.
    (These pics used for demonstration only, Belt Positioning Booster seats need to be used with a shoulder harness)
