We just got a 2006 Chevy Impala with the fixed headrests. My daughter is 22 months, 27.5lbs and 35in, currently rear facing in an Graco Extend2fit most of the time, front facing only when I am driving alone (we avoid leaving the house without dad right now to make this as little as possible as I understand it isn't safe). The vehicle is still in the shop at my husbands workplace, and I had him test the install in my car front facing on recline 4, and he said he couldn't get it. I did some research and realized most seats have an issue with the attached headrests.
My husband's car is a 1998 Maxima (tether is retrofitted) his vehicle also has the attached headrests but they are almost flush with the seat and we didn't notice any issues with it and install.
My sister bought a Myfit for her for when she turns two, will this seat install properly? We don't have any ability to get a new seat right now, and when I get my car I will not be able to sit in the back with her to deter her from unbuckling.
I have contacted Graco and two CPSTs and while I understand she is safer rear facing, she is not safe when I can't see her after she has escaped again. I bought the Extend2fit to keep her rear facing forever, but my child and the universe matched us with an incredibly smart child and a car that doesn't play well with mirrors and car seats due to the headrests.
