As if the Complete Air weren't reclined enough...

LISmama810 · Jan 10, 2011

I finally got around to installing the Complete Air I bought a week ago. There's the molded-in-plastic line that is supposed to indicate the proper level for RF. Then there's a sticker under the line with little arrows pointing to the line. Except that the sticker is super-crooked, to the point that one end of the sticker goes over the line itself. That'll be great for people who only go by the sticker/arrows and don't realize there's a line there.

Then when I was tightening the seatbelt I kept hearing this crinkling sound. I couldn't figure out what it was until I finally realized that the sticker showing the RF belt path was partially OVER the belt path, so the seatbelt was rubbing on the overhang.

I dunno, maybe I'm just looking for things to hate about this seat, but way to put stickers on, guys.

I just got one recently too, but the 65lb version. I didn't have any problems with stickers, just with trying to get the LATCH tight enough since the adjuster plate thing sits right on the belt path. It took me forever to get it not too upright and still be tight enough. I also don't get the point of those things that cover the shoulder part of the harness, they make it hard to get that tight enough as well. Aside from those things I really like it. It takes up less room RF than my TF does.
Maybe the sticker thing is a problem for the 50 lb version?

I just tried out (and ultimately returned) a CA50 and all the stickers were on straight, but I hear you, I was unimpressed with the seat overall. I hope your sticker issue was just a one-off and that it's not an indicator of their quality control.
