Does the harness tighten freely when he's out of it, and then is it hard to tighten when he's in it? That's a really common problem with a million seats, so I'm trying to see if that's what you mean?
I've noticed with my CT Frontier that sometimes the back of the frontier is so tight against the seat back of the car that it doesn't allow the harness to tighten once installed. I think it's because of where the harness comes out behind the shoulder slots, there's the height adjuster bar that the straps go over, and that bar sticks out pretty far and then gets smashed into the seat back of the car after you close the plate - kind of pinning the harness between the height adjuster bar and the seat of the car. But then I've installed it in other cars and not had the issue.
I also can't adjust the head rest because of this when it's installed.
it's not possible that my son is too small, right? that seems like a bone head question to even ask because he's 4.5 yo, 37 lbs, he was still fitting in his convertible. I have to double check his current height, but I know he's within the specs for this seat. I will try the trick mentioned by previous poster, thx
My daughter is 4.5 and around 35-37 lbs. Not sure of her height either but she is a pretty slender kid. She fits fine in the seat.
