To whomever concerned, engineer or any trade responsible for this fucking piece of shit's wholly inadequate anchoring system: FUCK YOU!
Clearly you have never had to install one of these in real life because it's an ordeal on the order of a root canal performed via jackhammer while costing hundreds of dollars to buy and only being legally usable for about 4-5 years (at least in Canada).
If anyone with the necessary contacts or knowledge want to crowd source a toddler seat with a simple, easy and truly effective anchoring system, hit me up, I'll invest in a goddamned heartbeat, and so will any dad who ever had to rupture their colon straining on these giant middle fingers of a product.

In the US, most fire stations will help you properly install a child's car seat!

Ever heard of isofix? Takes max. 30 seconds to mount/dismount. Solid, reliable, standardized.

Thanks!

That particular seat is one of the easiest I've ever installed. Not that I disagree about a ratchet, but complain much?
JeSuisJaeb
Second: yeah of course I'm complaining much, it's a rant about a clearly 1st-world problem. :)
JeSuisJaeb
First: do you have any particular trick to tightening the straps without straddling it and straining beast-style?
MrNohbdy
I guess I'm just good at straddling and straining beast-style. Seriously though, I really don't know any tricks to speak of.

Mine goes in pretty easily a strap in the top and one in the bottom
JeSuisJaeb
Maybe my rant wasn't clear: it's not putting the straps in place, it's tightening them which is a pain in the ass.

I am guessing you dont have ISOfix in your car. Or you could chekck out the "Besafe" line of carseats. Incredibly easy to use.

I am able to put in a Besafe seat in less than 2 minutes. And I am currently struggling with a damaged back and shoulder.
