An observant YouTube viewer pointed out that I had made a mistake on my car seat installation. You’re supposed to use either the Latch system or the seatbelt, but not both. (My car seat manual wasn’t very clear about that.) Today I had an appointment for a car seat inspection at John Muir, and they really did a great job. They spend about half an hour with you, inspecting your installation, making any needed improvements, and then educating you about all aspects of car seat safety (of which there are many).
