HBB for Jeep grand cherokee

[Trisha916]

Hello, I recently bought a Graco Affix HBB for my daughter. I can't get the booster to sit flush on the seat because of non-removeable headrests. Also, it's really hard to pull the seat belt through the red stabilizer, and the buckle is so far down in the seat mt daughter can't buckle herself in. Anyone else have a Grand cherokee and having issues with HBB's?

Hi Trisha,

How old is your daughter and what is her approximate weight, please?

Though some boosters can be used with protruding vehicle head restraints, sometimes the best "fix" is to use the booster in backless mode.

A RideSafer travel vest is another option.

A third option would be to see if a harness-to-booster combination seat like the Chicco MyFit, Graco Nautilus or Britax Frontier fit. In some vehicles, the main shell of these seats just fits under the vehicle head restraint and the adjustable head rest section of the car seat is just far enough forward that you can slide it up and down in front of the fixed vehicle head restraint.
