Can anyone take a look at this and offer a suggestion for me? This doesn't look right but I am having a fit getting it tighter because of the gray grippy things. It has the click and safe feature and it clicks when I pull on it.

Can you pinch the straps and get fabric between your fingers?
-
Also, I find it helps when I tighten mine that I buckle the crotch and then pull it tight across the legs (just get the slack out). Then I do the chest clip but keep it low. I tighten as much as I can and then slide the chest clip up again. And then give it one more try to tighten.
Note: I don't have a click tight though.
-
Can you remove those shoulder pads (I don't know the formal name for them, sorry)? It looks like the grips are hitting up against them.
I also kind of thread the straps into the holes in the back when I am pulling up on the crotch strap. It's a process, we have the same seat.

I have a Britax Boulevard Clicktight, and when LO was smaller, we had to take off the gray hugs pads. I am going to put them back on soon (she is almost a year).

@Cole: you can even pull the grey grippy things down a bit just make sure the chest clip is still at armpit level that may help. As long as it passes the pinch test at the shoulder, it is good though.

I removed those gray chest pads on my marathon click tight to get a better fit on my 13 month old. The manual said they aren't required until forward facing.
-
Can you pinch the straps on the shoulders? If the shoulders are tight then it is OK if there is a gap over the belly.
-
I second T.H.O.U's suggestion of moving the chest clip up after using the click tight.

@T.H.O.U.: Thank you! I will give that a try. I can pinch but only barely so it's close but not perfect.
@kiddosc: That is good to know, I can barely pinch but I assumed having a gap over the belly was a no no. I am going to work on getting rid of that bit of slack
@looch: I need to figure that out, rereading the manual is my next step. I love the shoulder pads because she can rest her cheek on them but the great grippy things are a pain.
@LovelyPlum: which are the hugs? The grip or the pads? Thanks!
@abbydabbydoodlebug: That's good to know, thanks! I think that would help.
@yellowbird: looking at the pictures again I think you're right, I am going to try and make sure they are all the way down before I buckle her in.
