How do you feel about convertibles and carseats?

I dont have much to say as I have only ever been in a convertible once lol! But I remember something about those types of headrests being an issue for installing seats, so look into that. I cant remember what the problem was or where I read it but it jumped out of my memory for some reason. And it may not be on all of them but the one I read about.

Man dont you hate when you know you remember something but cant remember it? :confused: lol!

You are thinking about Groovymom up above. She has the BMW 3 series (I believe). You can't remove the headrests because the rollover protection is built into them. I was actually thinking of her saga when I spoke to BMW about this. The only thing is that my kids are rear-facing and will be for sometime, so I wouldn't really have that problem. I really don't know how long DH would have this next car, but we seem to go through cars pretty quickly :(

hm, maybe. I dont remember her thread(I went and looked at it) but heck it could have been(my memory is shot though).

I think I would be fine with a rearfacing tethered seat in a convertible. That way there isnt a risk of a bug in the eye(or forhead or check or mouth, ect) and there is that extra rollover protection that we believe the tethering adds.
