HELP!! with my Graco car seat

[southlandwireless]

Three questions:

1) I have a Graco Alano and a Chevy Cavalier (1998). My husband has a Chavy Cavalier 2002. He says the latches are too short to reach the seat on his car (He followed the manual instructions. In my car, the car seat (installed in the center) seems to rotate side to side and shake a lot if I grab it and move it. I don't think it's secure. The seatbelt has a slot that extends from the back of the seat to about two inches forward, and I think that's why I can't get the seatbelt secure. ARE WE DOING SOMETHING WRONG??? How do we know if the seat is just not compatible with the car(s)???

2) There is a defect in our base and it will not latch into the most inclined position. Is this a problem and mean the entire base is unusable or can we just not use that feature?

3) How can I find someone in Los Angeles to help us with the install and check the seat???

Thanks.

	LATCH LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren. It is a system mandated by the Federal government in an effort to standardize and simplify the installation of child restraints without using the vehicle's seat belt system. New vehicles and child safety seats manufactured on and after September 1, 2002 will be equipped with the LATCH system. Cars, minivans, and light trucks will be required to have anchor points between the vehicle's seat cushion and the seat back in at least two rear seating positions, and a top tether anchor (with the exception of convertibles). Child safety seats will have a lower set of attachments that fasten to the vehicle anchors. Most forward-facing child safety seats will also have a top strap (tether) that attaches to the top anchor in the vehicle.
