Hi there! We’re looking at a 2018 Limited and while we love it our teenager hates the 2nd row seatbelt and finds it quite uncomfortable and painful!! It’s seriously swaying the decision to not buy this one and it’s a real bummer!! Could I please ask for some advice?
This model has the inflatable seatbelt, and instead of a single strap style that I’ve seen elsewhere, there are two separate straps that connected at the buckle. The lap belt portion has a folded part and a loop that digs into her, and the separate tensioner of that strap keeps it uncomfortably tight and also hurts her opposite hip.
She’s a very slim teen.
We looked into changing out the seatbelt somehow but from everything we’ve looked at that doesn’t seem possible or advisable (understandably). Any suggestions or thoughts on somehow remedying this issue? While we love the Flex our daughter needs to be comfortable! And she’s hard of hearing so popping her into the 3rd row for all/most trips isn’t a great solution unfortunately.![😔]()
Please help! We need to make a decision ASAP!!
Sorry, no photos of the issue.
