I tried DS#2 out in it today when I picked him up from school. He was excited to give it a go. Some observations and concerns:
He said he felt like he was tipping side to side.
I didn't use the tether since I was using the lap/shoulder belt...maybe that would help with the tipping?
The tether strap and clips are heavy...we tried attaching it in the house and he said the clips felt heavy on his shoulders where they attach. Also it is a narrow fit for his neck between the two tether strap clips...hopefully the pics will explain what I mean.
The crotch strap isn't very long...he says it feels rather snug but it helps keep the shoulder part of the vest from riding up towards his ears...however I am not sure how long it will fit???
Here he is from the front...from the front the lap belt looks a little high.
Here is a side view...from the side the lap belt looks like it is positioned well. Upon further review of this pic, I think he could have scooted a bit further back in the seat. He insisted on using the pillow thing that came with the vest...I don't know that it is that helpful.
Another shot of lap belt fit...
Where the shoulder belt goes...
Tether strap attached...when his head is up straight he says the strap rubs on his neck...he was definitely not a fan of the tether strap but I want to use it if it will make him safer while wearing the vest...any thoughts?
