Comments:
* Dual level lines stamped on seat.
* Cup holders make the seat significantly wider.
* May be incompatible in vehicles with shorter seat depths, as the seat base starts further back from the edge/lip.
* Seat does not have a foot or recline handle underneath it to change it from rear to forward facing, which makes it somewhat easier not to mess up installation.
* Seat does not have special requirements for which harness slots can be used for rear or forward facing.
* Have to adjust the harness down when using the bottom-most slot by moving the harness ends underneath to a new slot.
* Can be used rearfacing until child is 40 lbs, 40", or top of head is even w/top of seat back. Doesn't specify 1" rule.
