Lock-off
Seat is good for you if
You want a seat with an easy installation.
You want a car seat with a seat belt lock-off.
Use caution if
You have a vehicle with non-removable headrests.
You need to fit 3 across in a vehicle.
You want to skip an infant seat.
The harness height is low enough to fit a newborn. The problem we have found is the recline. In vehicles with very sloped seats, it is not always possible to recline this seat enough for a newborn. Chicco does not allow the use of rolled towels or pool noodles to increase the recline. If your vehicle has very flat seats, this seat may work from birth.
