Hope this explains it a little better..
Passenger Seat Shoulder Belt Too Tight or Cinches Up (Replace Passenger Seat Belt Retractor Assembly)
2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, TrailBlazer EXT
2002 GMC Envoy, Envoy XL
2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
Condition
Some customers may comment that the passenger front seat shoulder belt is too tight or cinches up during buckle-up. This condition is more prevalent when the occupant is of larger stature and may also occur if the occupant, while wearing the belt, performs large unusual movements.
Cause
The child seat locking mechanism of the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) may be engaging when the belt is extended to its full length upon fastening. Belt system is functioning as designed.
Correction
A new passenger seat retractor assembly has been released for service with additional 250 mm (9.84 in) of length to the belt to improve this condition. Replace the passenger seat retractor assembly.
