baby trend and aftermarket products

I was just checking out the Flex Loc manual for another post and noticed the following-

Accessory products for use with the Safety Seat are acceptable for use provided that they do not interfere with the harness assembly, or the proper adjustment of the harness such that it remains tight on the child's shoulders at all times. Thick, soft, or other compressible material in excess of 1/4 inch thick should not be placed behind or under the child or between the child and harness straps. Examples of accessory products are head support pillows or rolled blankets to add additional head support.

1/4 inch is still pretty thick when you consider that it's allowed to go behind the child and around the harness straps.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly as long as a bundle me was under 1/4" thick you could use it without voiding your warranty?

I'm assuming for this to me in there they had to crash test with something a 1/4" thick in between baby and carseat, correct?

right. but that doesn't change the fact that anything extra between the baby and the shell and harness can affect the fit and routing. IMO, it just opens a door to more misuse.

I don't know about the testing. maybe?

No, because the Bundle Me interferes with the harness something awful.

I knew a mom or two who added some bum padding when they read that was allowed in the manual...the seat they had was HARD, so it was a nice allowance. But, duh, Baby Trend? Put some padding in to begin with!
