I have a Britax Boulevard 70-G3 that is currently rear facing. I removed the HUGS chest pads because it was so difficult to get her in and out of the seat and the website said that was acceptable in a rear facing installation (we've had other Britax's without this - had I known, I would never have bought this seat, but that's another story).
My daughter is now 4 and I'm planning to turn her forward facing. I know you need to have the HUGS chest pads in a forward facing installation, but do you have to use the strap that connects them to the back of the seat? I think that's what causes most of the problems so I'd love to just put the chest pads on but not reinstall the strap. Is that a no-no?
Thanks!
