Carseat buckle time?

How long does it take you to get LO buckled into their carseat?  I feel like it takes me forever and I blame the carseat.  

We have a Britax Boulevard CS and I really don't like the way the straps tighten.  All I have to do is pull the strap between his feet to tighten it and it is supposed to 'click' when it is secure.  Well it clicks way too early and I always have to strain to pull the strap and quadruple check how tight it is at his shoulders.  It takes forever!!

When we leave mommy groups I always notice how I'm the last one to pull out of the parking lot.  I've always been anal about how tight I get the straps, so maybe it's partly me, but mostly I blame the seat!   

Is your carseat different?  Do you just buckle and go?  How tight do you make the straps?  I know you're not supposed to be able to pinch any strap at the shoulder, so I make sure it's flat against his shoulders. 

I used to be a big deal.  Now I'm just old.
