Has anyone else had problems with getting these bl00dy things to fit in the back.

I cant use the front seat because of the airbags. So trying to get into the back seat all secure with the seatbelt is a complete b@stard! It doesnt help you need the whole length of the belt, which then locks so you cant pull anymore slack out when you need it.

Was trying just now and my other half could hear me ranting indoors! Ooops!

I can see there are extenders out there which may help.

Anyone else got anything to suggest / add?

TIA

Just sounds like you need the extenders /yes

I suppose ease of fitment, depends on the the make model and size of the seat and also the type of vehicle it is being fitted to..

Flash the cash and get some extenders /pan

Have got it sussed, DONT LET THE BELT TAKE UP THE SLACK!!!

Need some extenders for jeans car though.

Which ones to go for, one with a buckle and a clip at each end, or a bolt on job that extends from the mounting? I have heard the buckle and clip ones arent recommended, but i cant see why?
