No headrest behind Graco Nautilus?

We have a 2003 Mazda MPV that is missing one of the 2nd row captain's chair headrests. For the longest time, we had my daughter's Graco Nautilus installed in the seat with the headrest but at one point, we needed to have that seat open for an adult to use. So we installed her GN in the seat without the headrest.

It is a tight install and tethered in the back. DD is 42 lbs/42 in, 23 in torso (approx). The top of her head is about 2 in from the top of the headrest, when it is set for the harness slot she is on (2nd from the top).

Is this okay? Or does the Nautilus need to be on a seat with a headrest?

The Nautilus does not need to be in a seat with a headrest or a high seat back. This is true for both harnessed and booster mode. :thumbsup:
