Hello, I am thinking of purchasing an 2009 edge. Borrowed one for tonight..one complaint i have is that the way the back seat..seat belts are made. When i tried to put two car seats side by side there wasn't enough room to do up the middle seat belt. The booster seat covered the two buckles that are down in the seat. What gives...why did they make the buckle end even with the seat?? Need an extender so you can buckle the seat belt. Why have a middle seat belt if it can't be used. thank you for any help.

I was able to mount the baby seat in the center of the back seat. I had to do it with the seat belt system though. Not as nice as the hooks but still works. I put it slightly off center to give more room to one passenger. That actually allowed use of the belt through the seat and one hook. It was very sturdy.

I must admit the PT did have hooks for a center position - so that was one up for it.
