What to do about Nautilus headrest?

libranbutterfly · Nov 3, 2009

Kamille was inching over the second from top strap height on the Nautilus, so I moved the straps up to the top slot. I put the headrest in the position right above the top harness slot, but now the belt guides are a right below her ears. Still about 2 inches above her shoulders. What do you think? Is it okay like this? Should I use a different seat for a little while?

Yes, it's fine. When the child first moves up a slot, the headrest will be quite a bit above the shoulders.

I agree, not a concern at all.

I was just a little worried about it since the manual said to keep the headrest at the shoulders. I'm glad she can continue to use this seat, it is a PITA to install in my car.

Yep, taht is what happens whenever a child moves up a slot..

And the headrest at the shoulders thing is for booster mode, not harnessed.

We just had to move the Nautilus up to the top position for oldest DS1. I don't care for it right now...his head is practically out of the head rests all together, and he has head slump. It looks ugly.

I'm thinking about putting him in the Safety First CA for an inch or so.

That is how I'm feeling, it just looks weird, and I don't like how it is fitting her right now. Kamille as been in the same slot the wole time we have had the Nautilus, so maybe that is part of it. She hasn't fallen asleep in it yet, so I don't know how she will do there.

If I get my seats back from my friends car, I can put her in the other Marathon. She still has 1/2 inch in it. I can't let Lexi use the Nautilus, because that is the one seat Kamille has claimed as HERS.

I guess I'll see how she does next time we are in the car, We've only had one 15 minute drive home from dance in it this way.

Logan isn't using the nautilus right now, because he is just at the 3rd slots and the Headrest really bugs me. I am using the FPSVD or radian65 until he looks right in it.
