Are all K'ers out of convertible carseats?

I am always suspicious when people say this. In order for the harness to be tightened properly (no more than two fingers of room at the armpit) - the harness has to be loosened to clip, and then tightened after clipping. Every.Single.Time. There is no way a person (child or adult) has the right angle to tighten their own harness once they are already clipped in. So all these kids clipping themselves have straps that are too loose. At least the seatbelt is self-retracting.

It doesn't always need to be loosened. If it has been loosened, my kid tells me, and I reach back from the driver's seat & tighten it.
