Correct headrest placement etc?

I've got a Safety 1st Guide 65. Can anyone tell me if the headrest is in the correct position (a friend has just recently got one too, and we are both wondering), cannot see anything in the manual about where it should be? And is the chest clip in the right position?

Unfortunately I cannot get the other photo to load. so I'll keep trying.
Many thanks :)

Assuming you mean the carseat headrest, you position it so that the harness slots are on the notch even with or one position below the baby's shoulders.

Thank you, yes I mean the carseat head rest. The straps are below her shoulders, but they are adjusted separately from the head rest and as far as I can see, hold no relevance to where it should be positioned? I could lift the head rest right up if I wanted while the straps were still below her shoulders.

Do you basically just want it as close to the straps without being on the straps?
Sorry probably not making myself clear, I'm exhausted today lol.

Finally got the other photo to upload. The seat itself is reclined to the right angle etc. But yea I am just unsure about the correct headrest placement. For example, I think in Radians they need to be in a certain position when RF? So thought maybe there needs to be something along the same lines with this, but I'm just missing it in the manual :)

Fantastic, thanks so much :)
Am so in love with the seat. Have a 6'9 hubby so need all the room we can get as we both drive or are passengers.

And yep those cheeks are scrummy. I love kissing them lol
