Default Flapping rear center seat belt... Anyone come up with a good fix yet?

I think we all suffer from the loose flapping center rear seat belt. Aside from clicking it into the receiver, has anyone found a good fix?

I put the buckle in behind the arm rest. I just make sure the belt lays flat against the leather.

Default I thought it was just mine and I had stretched it. Looked at going into the seat

back to try to snug up the reel, but I couldn't figure out how to get in there yet.

Why not just clip it into the buckle if it is flopping around?

Default I ended up putting a teddy bear in the center rear belt of the Alfa.

Not a big one mind you, but maybe 8 or 10 inches high. Got him at a children's charity sale. He's my lucky bear :-)
