Hi there! I'm new to this site, but so far I'm loving it and all of the amazing posts! I am in the process of becoming a CPST, and a few of my close friends are instructors. I bought this seat because of my son's health issues. I have never heard of this one before until my friend told me that this would be a better option vs. a harness at this age. My son is 23 months old, 36 inches tall, and 25 pounds. He constantly gets car sick and we have tried EVERYTHING. We have bought new seats, we took the mirror down, got his ears and eyes checked, everything. I wanted to RF him as long as possible, but since I bought this seat he has NOT been sick. So, my question is, when tightening the shield, how tight do I get it. When I called Kiddy I was told get it snug but not too tight(I'm used to the pinch test) I was like okay that makes sense...Well, this morning I go and put him in to take him to daycare and I find myself questioning my install. I have the seat attached to the vehicle by LATCH, so I know he will not fly out of the seat, but I don't want him slipping out of the shield. I pulled him up and he didn't come out, so that made me feel better, but when talking to my tech group here nobody has experience with this seat so they can't tell me, and the training they have had with it was not in person. I will call Kiddy again, but because this community is so knowledgable I wanted to reach out and ask here. I also think my fear comes from the "unknown", this is an unfamiliar seat to me and I am trained with the other seats and not this one. So I am hoping to gain some knowledge to take back to my community. Thank you in advance for your help!
