    I recently purchased a 2017 honda cr-v with the intent of using it as a 5 passenger vehicle. However, the rear seat belt does not allow to safely buckle 3 children in the back even though it was purchased as a 5 passenger vehicle. There are 3 seat belts provided but they cross over each other in a manner that makes the seat belts twist and does not safely buckle 3 children in at one time.

    The rear center passenger's left seat belt buckle anchor is reversed making it nearly impossible to properly buckle 3 passengers in the back seat. This is a safety hazard as my center passengers, finding it a herculean feat when seated, often decline to buckle up. I've included two photos of this buckle showing this condition. As seen when buckled w/o a passenger, the belts overlap. Because of this the center…
