Bad wording of car seat description?

I read another thread that inspired me to go search for info on a True Fit.

http://www.learningcurve.com/product/detail/Y11129?locale=en_US

"As your infant starts to grow, simply add the headrest back on and you are good to go in the rear-facing position up to 35lbs. And when your infant is ready to watch you drive (at 35 lbs or so) simply make sure that headrest is in place and turn your seat around"

Surely there has to be a better way to word it other than "when your INFANT is READY TO WATCH YOU DRIVE" ????

Am I just nit-picking or does anyone else find that odd? It seems to me like they have an excellent opportunity to educate parents- but appears they aren't on board with the AAP's recommendations of ERFing (though they do say at 35 lbs...). They have a good opportunity to educate parents and push their product. Though- devils' advocate- I'm sure whoever wrote the description lacks the same passion we share here about safety and seats and was just writing the description... but it still seems very odd to me. :twocents:

That's better than what I last saw about the True Fit. Something along the lines of..... "And when baby is ready to turn around, just attach the headrest and turn around" It seemed to indicate the headrest wasn't for RF at all :rolleyes:

Yeah definitely an improvement.

And of course it implies that you SHOULD rf to 35lbs... which is between 2-4 for most kids. :)

Doubly :rolleyes: because the headrest is required at 22 pounds, and the seat has a minimum of 23 pound for FF. So unless your child miraculously gains over a pound overnight ...
