WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ATTACH A CHILD SEAT OR A CHILD BOOSTER SEAT IN THE REAR SEATING AREA IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ATTACH THE SEAT BELT BECAUSE THE STRAP FROM THE BUCKLE TO WHERE THE BUCKLE IS ATTACHED TO THE BODY UNDER THE SEAT IS TOO SHORT . YOU CAN NOT HOLD THE BUCKLE AND INSERT THE BELT WITH OUT THE BUCKLE BEING FORCED INTO AND UNDER THE SEAT. I HAVE ATTACHED A CORD TO ASSIST THIS BUCKLING ISSUE BUT IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE
