Besafe izi Combi- struggling to tighten shoulder straps?

Has anyone got this seat and can help?

Just fitted it last weekend and seems great however, I am really struggling to get the shoulder straps tight enough. I'm pulling and pulling ( with all my strength!) and can get them quite tight but not tight enough. The hip straps however are really tight by this stage plus
the harness is so tight I have to loosen it off to be able to get him out!

I'm assuming the rule about just being able to slide a couple of fingers under the straps still applies in the ERF seats and the straps should be tight to be safe. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions?

I have one.

Once you've tightened the straps, you need to pull on the straps that go across the hips to even out the tension. Great hey? Ours did get better with time.
