Ya, totally defeats the purpose of the removable headrest as most kids are 22 pounds before they even reach an age where they could legally FF. They may as well have made it the full size, the removable headrest is nothing more than a marketing gimmick unless you've got a large vehicle.yeh, i guess theoretically it could be...if you are willing to go against manuf's directions or FF at 22 lbs. (or have alot of space to RF w/ the headrest on).
I agree. I said in another post that I don't think the seat was actually designed for ERF. It seems like it was designed to be used FF at a year of age and 22 pounds...yk, thats a great point. what is the point of that headrest? it really does make you wonder if they were thinking ERF;ing. Even reading the manual I often wonder if they seriously contemplated ERF.
I think, maybe, the only reason they're sticking to 45* rf is because they only tested it at 45*. ERF didn't even dawn on them, so due to liability issues, they can't recommend anything else. Oops. I guess they weren't aware of people like us. Also, it seems that the company is in a bit of confusion with the recent merging/buyout of Compass...let's hope they can clear some of this up.
I did try to explain why the 45 degree angle means the seat is almost useless for ERF and he said that not all seats are perfect for all cars.
I don't think an engineer should be "hinting" at a car seat working improperly at a lesser angle. If they indeed tested it at a lesser angle, I would hope they would say directly and give a reason, not hint.
