I am stumped on this thought. I have seen it said several times that if you put a child more upright in a RF seat that they will have more room RF above their head. However I thought that the more upright they were that the less room they would have. I am REALLY confused on this. Can someone explain this to me please! I truely thought that installing the seat more upright meant that they would have less room above their head b/c they always loose room when we turn them FF do they not??

A more-upright child will "slump" slightly into the seat, which will leave more room.

A FF seat is installed at a completely different angle. That's why they lose room.

Now that does kind of make some since. I just could not figure out HOW they got more room. Thanks!

on a side note - i was surprised how much room they loose in some seats FF - when i got my frontier I put DD1 in it in the house and put it 2 clicks above what it should be knowing I would loose some installled - once installed, I had to click it up 3 more times! I think so far, the frontier is the first seat I have lost that much room in comparing installed/uninstalled.

When I tried DS in an uninstalled Nautilus in April, he was actually below the second-to-bottom slots. (There are four sets of slots.) When I purchased one a week later and installed it in my car, he was just below the next set of slots! So he lost a whole seat when the seat was installed! I was shocked. (Still love the seat, though!)
