MA cover not lining up?

I just bought DS a Cowmoo MA, and when I was rerouting the straps, I noticed that the cover really doesn't line up well with the shell. The slots in the cover areway higher than the slots in the shell, so much so that the bottom cover slot is nearly even with the second from bottom shell slot:confused: Is this normal? Will the cover stretch with use, or should I call Britax? I find it kinda amusing that one of the reasons we tell people not to buy aftermarket covers is because the harness slots might not line up correctly, then my brand new MA comes and is way off!:rolleyes:

When I bought my new MA, and put a differnt MA cover (though it is Britax!) on, I had the same problem. Mine did fix it's self over time :) I'm sure yours will too :)

Just so you know however, the main concern with aftermarket covers and such is that they will re-route the two harness straps so far apart that they will not stay on the child's shoulders. Not lining up top to bottom is annoying, because you have to reposition the cover, but not as dangerous as pulling the straps apart.

Thanks Kim! I'd never given it much thought...just always tell people not to buy them becuae of the straps, not tested w/seat etc. It's nice to have a bit more info!
