And I'm on my phone, so I can't search to see if it's been mentioned.

It's not really s no re-thread harness. It's a don't move, ever harness. There's one slot in the tallest position. The headrest slides up and down independently in front of it.

my phone thinks it's smarter than I am.

This is going to date me, but the old Fisher Price Grow with Me was kind of like that. The harness straps attached in one place to a bar in the back and then adjusting the headrest positioned the straps at the kid's shoulders.

Apparently they are going back to the olden days where only the top position is reinforced for ffing use and babies ride with the harness at their ears.

I just worry it will make adjusting the tightness of the harness difficult.

Other than that, if it passed testing, then I'm fine with it.

Well crap. I sold my nauti, getting ready for this to come out. Now I am not liking it.

I have nothing of substance to add, but I have to share this. DD is sitting on my lap. I opened the photos and DD said, "That's a car seat!" I said yes. She said, "It's like my car seat!" I said yes. She said, "And like crunchy's!" And I was like, WTF???? I never said anything about Crunchy. Is she reading now??? How did she know who posted the photos and what her name is?

So the headrest goes on top of the harness when it is in the lower positions? I too wonder if that makes it difficult to adjust/tighten.

I would assume it is safe of course, passed testing with the headrest lower, but is it easier to use??? Rethreading the Nauti harness is a PITA but it's not like I have had to do it often, thankfully.

Is she possibly referring to the candy bar?

Regardless, that is so funny. My kids have done stuff like that to me before and I was completely stumped. LOL

Every once in a while she'll comment on a baby, but I have never once used names or anything. I don't think she'd associate a candy bar with "crunchy" either. It was completely weird.
