I've never had that happen before. Probably not impossible though.

I think you might need an actual mechanic.

Question: have you used your infant car seat in the center of the B6 back seat?

Any issues with it being in the middle (e.g. the center console)?

What do you mean by "I cant get it to slide back to where it was... (the hub)"??

Default Yes.

The rear facing infant seat is kind of long. This makes it a bit snug for taller folks in the front. If that seat is in the middle, then both front seats might have to be moved forward. So I have that seat on the passenger side. The front passenger seat can sit a little further forward than the driver's seat. Since the wife is shorter than me, everybody is happy.
