I'm still not 100% sure I'm ready to go backless with ds1, but we tried him that way to see how the fit looks...opinions?

Here he is with the back on.

I think it looks great backless. The one with the back won't blow up for me, but it looks like it would need to be moved up a click (shoulder belt looks too far off.)

I agree, I think it looks great! He's a little cutie BTW!

I think the fit looks great (in both pics). He looks so little in the backless pic, even though he really isn't.

It looks good backless to me. If you're going to keep the back on I'd move it up one click.

I agree, the belt fit looks great. It's almost identical in both pictures.

I don't quite understand why people are suggesting raising the height of the back? It looks quite appropriate height to me and you can see the edge of his shoulder is well past the edge of the belt, it doesn't look like he's going to roll out of it or anything.

Maybe it's his shirt, but it does look like it should be closer to his neck, to me...I guess I've just seen too many good-fitting booster crash tests where dummies roll out of belts....?

Yeah, it might just be that he's leaning to one side, I can't really tell... It just looks like it's too close to the edge of the shoulder. (Times like these I wish I could play around with it in person to check!)

Honestly, the backless pic looks like a better fit. It's more centered on his shoulder.

Click to expand...

I think my mind is seeing the edge of his shirt as his shoulder (where the shirt goes from horizontal to vertical). It would be helpful to see a pic in a tank top or a snugger shirt.

If you look at the space between his chin and the seatbelt in each pic, I just don't see much difference.
