Once the seatbelt adjuster is installed, does it prevent the seatbelt from retracting back to its normal position when it isn't being used?

I have had problems using this item and currently am not using it! It didn't work too well for me. I kept having to redo it each time I got into the car.

No it does not prevent the seatbelt from retracting. The clip easily slides along the seatbelt.

I'm not sure how you were planning to use it, but if you put anywhere near the retractor, it would indeed prevent the belt from retracting. Once you clip it anywhere on the belt, it acts like a block, it won't slide either way by itself (though you can easily slide it with your hand), the sliding buckle won't go through it, and the belt won't retract past it. I use it specifically to block the sliding buckle in a particular position on a racing belt, and it works great for that.

Depending on where you put it (how big the person is) yes that is a problem that I have encountered.

Yes it does. It basically locks the seatbelt into the place where you installed the adjuster. If you want to use the seatbelt as it was intended, you need to remove the seatbelt adjuster.

It stays on once attached and slides along the lap portion of the seatbelt for adjustment purposes but in my opinion, it slides way too easily and doesn't stay put when you attach the shoulder harness to it. I'm always fussing with it while driving, which is not a good thing.

I didn't have a problem with the belt pulling out. I had an issue with the entire seat back coming forward when I braked. I only used it for one trip down the road and after I saw that happen, I took it out and returned it. Interestingly, the clerk at the store where it was purchased was not surprised that we weren't happy with it and said he sees a lot of them returned. Hope that helps!

The one I have is so tight, I have to manually slide it down to allow the seat belt to fully retract. Maybe yours is defective.

It would not be easy to pull out because the car seat should be strapped down very tightly. If you unlatch the system to re-adjust it, then you cannot re-latch it properly while she is sitting in the seat. Once the seat is installed, the angle should not be adjusted while in use.

Yes, the seatbelt will still lock. The restraints on the side that click into the car seat anchors restrict the movement also though. My dog does manage to lie down anyway, but I do feel like he is much more protected than before.

It's not auto-retracting. Mine operates perfectly. It "puts" back into the retracted position easily, perfectly and smoothly.

Yes this is true. There's a handle in the back you have to pull out and then up or down to adjust the headrest and straps simultaneously. It would be impossible to do while installed. You DO NOT have to rethread the straps.

Not really as the seat belt is looped through to serve as the belt as there is no built in harness.

To keep your pet in place, have you used a harness with seat belt attachment?

I managed to get the front seat belt wrapped around it and clicked in place. It wasn't a sure thing but kept it from sliding forwardin braking situations. Hope this helps

It depends: if you extend the side stabilizers, than yes, it will prevent you from individually adjusting the seats. If you don't extend the side stabilizers, you should be able to adjust them, but the more ability you leave to adjust, the shakier it will be

Yes, it is held in place by bungee type material that stretches over the center console. One complaint that I have is that every time I open it it pops off as there is no way to secure it.

NO the center strap is not adjustable AND it does not need to be. Airline and car seatbelts only adjust on one end.

Obviously it depends where the buttons are located. We installed the cover on the drivers seat of my wife's 2007 Ford 500 and it doesn't interfere with the seat adjuster button in any way.

It's going on a year since I installed mine. It uses 2 elastic bands that wrap around the seat to secure it. I've only experienced minor movement of the pad that required slight adjustments. This was probably caused by entering and exiting the vehicle.

It attaches by putting the seat belt thru the bottom indentation. It is not too difficult if It is easy to pull your seatbelt out to full extention to hook it up after pulling it thru. I have 2 of them as i have 2 dogs and am used to removing them when necessary. My dogs love them.
