Question Is this safe?

This is my 3-yo in a rear-facing Britax Advocate with ARB. The ARB is very loose, unlike others I have used. I've asked him not to put his feet there, but he is the rebellious sort. I'm guessing better broken feet than whiplash?

His feet will most likely come out in a frontal crash and in a rear crash, they may be stuck under there. One thing you can do is find a t-shirt that's around the size of the bar and slip it over the top. Give Britax a call and see what they suggest. ARBs don't always sit flush against the seat back because the angle of vehicle seat backs vary, so we just have to keep discouraging kids from sticking their feet up there, as you have been.
