| SEATS - FRONT ASSEMBLY - HEAD RESTRAINT | |||
| The instructions are very unclear. there are 5 headrest positions, but only 4 can be used with a harness. there is no warning to inform parents not to use the 5th headrest position with harness, only for use with belt-positioning booster. it only implies it by saying that the child should use the belt-positioning booster if the child's shoulder are above the slots in the fourth position. however, that can be construed as the 4th toddler position, with the lowest being an infant position. there must be a specific warning in the instructions both in the harness adjustment section and the belt-positioning section and preferably on the seat itself. it is dangerously unclear. | |||
