    My kids have been complaining that the rear seat belts are always tangled up when they put them on. Looking at the latch part itself on the belt it looks to me like it was installed backwards on the two outside belts but normal on the middle. Anyone else have belts that look like this?

    That happens sometimes. You can reverse them by folding the belt at an angle and then "running over it" with the buckle until it faces the other way on the belt.

    Any possibility that your kids did the initial reversal of the buckles? :p

    My sister-in-law does it almost every time she rides in the car.
