FF CA 65 issues

Ok so yeah do not try to adjust head rest in this one while installed in a car with extremely squishy seats. The darn shoulder pads get stuck behind the seat in the adjustment thing and will not let it lock in place. I had to uninstall and literally turn it over and make it lock in place.

I guess I don't see that as a true "issue" with the seat, moreso maybe just a mild disappointment? The frontier can't be changed while installed either, which was a bummer to me, I'll admit. It might be a nice "perk" if you can do it in some vehicles, but I don't see the lack as a negative.
If a parent wants to ensure that a seat can have the harness height be adjustable while installed, there are a number of seats on the market that can guarantee that, such as the evenflo infinite harness seats like the Triumph, Symphony, Momentum.

Will you be needing to frequently change the harness ehight for multiple kids?

No I do not have an issue with my standard 50 lb limit CA with this. I thunknit is merely the harness pad that goes through the seat and attaches to that bar that locks into place when adjusting. I found the harness pads frequently slide back through to the back of the seat. I just wish they were removable and not permenantely attached. Being that all else on it is the same as the older model I think that if they were removable this would not be an issue.

I have never had a problem with my 50lb limit CAs (regular and LX models). I change the headrest height pretty frequently.

Sorry no the issue is with my CA65 the harness covers on that one get caught. My CA 50s never have this issue.

Yeah the CA65 has the weird rubber part on the straps

I think that's about the only thing I hate with the CA65 is those strap things.

I'm not familiar enough to know, and it would be a bit more of a pain, but is it something that having an extra pair of hands from a helper available to tug down the harness pads while you loosen and adjust up the harness would help alleviate?

Not that I can see KQ. It slides in with normal use and gets stuck some how even that way. I constantly have to pull them out every time I buckle her in. She uses to be able to buckle herself in the old CA but now is not able to since they either get stuck coming through the seat (90%of the time) or the bunch up where they meet the seat in he front. It was so nice with three little ones to have be able to buckle herself and just have to check it after she gets done.
