My baby has finally made it to the top slots on his Husky He's not 6 yet, and under 60 lbs but has a very long torso.
I just took the seat out and decided to wash the cover since I had to unthread everything (we need to move the buckle forward also) and I noticed that the hugs, besides being disgustingly grungy and faded, have started ripping along the edges of the top and bottom crosspieces (so you could rip the sides clean off).
There is nothing in the manual about them at all, so I don't know if they are a safety feature or a convenience feature, like the strap covers. They have been fairly useless for a long time, and really impede the chest clip more than help, and I think DS would have an easier time fastening the straps without them, especially if they are going to rip apart anyway.
Can I throw them away??
