LOL Yes I'm a Certified Passenger Safety Technician so I check car seats for their installs and safe of use.
Best way to know if your car seat is installed properly. If the seat moves side to side across the belt path more than 1" with your non-primary hand it's not installed properly.
Make sure to always check the vehicle owners manual and car seat owners manual. Some seat will not allow you to put anything under the seat for a proper level install.
For forward car seat installs they're generally quite straight forward, seat belt is used to tie the car seat down. when tightening the straps push the seat down and back towards the base and backrest of the seat. once the seatbelt is installed and tightened install upper anchor (needed in Canada) tighten the upper anchor so that it's snug but doesn't pull the seat up.
If you need a hand with the install or a check, send me a PM we can work out a time and I can come take a look.
