Got odd issue with rear seatbelts

The latch for middle belt sits in middle of passenger seat base meaning that if someone sitting there it is near impossible to clip belt in and impossible with ISO fix child seat in place Also middle and passenger side belts when fastened cross making unlatching them very awkward or I'd say dangerous to use.

The manual shows an image suggesting the latch should be at middle of seat adjacent to passenger seat latch.

Is this normal or is something wrong here?

Pretty common situation on rear seat belts in all cars. It’s what comes when trying to fit three passengers in what really is only space for two people. I agree it would be better to have, say, a narrower tongue and buckle for the middle seat, and mistake-proof it against fitting in a wider buckle.

Seems like the seat needs lifting and the buckle repositioned correctly.

This is the F30 configuration, as seen from centre of front cabin.
This is a saloon with folding seats.
