Front Seat Belt Anchorage problem #1

The problem is that the anchors for the bottom portion of the rear seat seat belts are mounted too far forward on the rear wheel well to properly restrain a child safety seat. We have a britex baby seat. From what I undestand from a certified seat installer is that all baby seats do not mount properly in the Land Rover discoveries. The seat rotates to the side and has significant lateral movement. I feel this is unsafe.

Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem #2

Rear passenger seat belt does not lock properly.
