I was looking thru the manual for the Signo and there are instructions for using the tether for FF but it's not mentioned RF (it also does not say you can't use it RF). So what's your take on it?
Use this child restraint rear-facing only with children weighing 5 to 35 pounds, 34 inches (86.4cm) or less, and younger than 12 months of age.
a lot of manuals have a RFing height limit, infant seats would be the #1 to list them.
It very well will most likely confuse some parents, but so could anything else in the manual. The age limit would confuse them as well.
Oh I know but it just annoys me that there is NO reason they couldn't have put 36" or higher. Theres no reason to aim to low. :thumbsdown:
yeah I think the scenera's is even 36" isnt it? and then they say they cant FF until 34"... am I remembering that right? lol!
That's going to lock a switchable belt. Then it says:Pull the seat belt out fully holding lap and shoulder sections together and route through the rear- facing belt path.
So they're using two locking methods - that's new, as far as I've heard.When the seat belt is tight, close the lock-off over both lap and shoulder belt sections, locking the seat belt webbing.
If the seat belt is not locking, you must use a locking clip or the built in lock-off.
From the "troubleshooting" section:
I think that must be a typo. Why would you need a locking clip when it has built-in lock-offs?
The 34" RF height limit.

I wonder with the new Recaro will Britax make their 65lb convertible shells taller to allow tall harness slots. Would be a very SMART move on Britax part and give them the a HUGE upper hand in the market.
