Alpha Omega Elite Users

My Mom picked up 2 Alpha Omega Elites from Costco for the girls while we are here. She can't remember where she put the manuals, and I don't feel like I have them installed correctly.

If you use this carseat, how do you make the latch system tight enough? I can't seem to get the strap to pull at all. I guess I can use the seatbelt instead.

Both girls are rear facing (of course for Thea), so I don't know if it makes a difference in the install when trying to get it tight.

For Thea, I feel like its too far upright. In fact, the level line is no where near level. Any suggestions to fix it?

Any other advice for the carseat?

    noadvice on that particualr seat but you could roll up a towel and put it under the seat on the end opposit the one you need to level out.

    I have 2 of these seats as well. Our car is older so we don't have a latch, but we do have to use towels underneath to get it to recline far enough.

    A pool noodle is also good for leveling it correctly.
