AO question

Does the Cosco AO have to have a headrest behind it like the Apex does?

If it doesn't I have a friend wanting to install her AO in the middle of a Ford Eplorer and tether to the side (I think here we determined that was okay). I also want to see if we can get it installed without it sitting on the buckle as I don't feel comfortable with the seat sitting on the buckle.

I don't think so...
I sold my 2 AO's recently and no longer have the manual, but I don't recall any mention of headrests being necessary. AFAIK the Apex is the only seat with this requirement, but maybe someone else can chime in with a more definite opinion.

No, you don't need a headrest with the AO. The majority of seats actually get a better install without the headrest imo. But don't do that with the Apex, because you do need the headrest. I am on the phone with a Aidensmom who is a tech, so I am getting the real deal here, as she gives it to me. I would recommend to everyone to get a new bestfriend who is a tech, cause it's just easier.;)

I have the AOE and it doesn't say anywhere in the manual that you need the headrest. I find it easier without the headrest.
