Matt, manufacturers are making the seatbelts easier to use since most late models allow the operator to rotate thier hips in the seat when travelling in reverse. Some of our famale operators claim that there hips are wider and are unable to turn around at all. The older styles were a rachet type that, after a few hours of twisting woud lead to back pain. There is an Austrailian retro-fit product that looks interesting and keeps one side of the belt extended when not connected.
