As most cars, the DS locks the belt into retract-only mode when fully extended (e.g. by my 5 y/o trying to buckle himself into his booster). It's a good safety feature that tightens the belt as he drives/relaxes.
However, the usual behavior is about a foot before the end, the belt stops tensioning. Well, on the DS, it's not stopping until a few inches before fully put away - and with his well-recommended Recarro booster seat, it doesn't reset unless I unclip and pull the booster out. This makes for several times/week of unhappy school trips and my wife is pushing that this is her biggest problem with the DS. Who knew the ticking never bothered her, nor the tranny...
Anyone run into this? Have a workaround (other than teaching him not to pull it so far - done, not fully working, he's not dumb, just 5)?
