These cushions do take up a lot of space and may not fit well next to other carseats or in situations where the vehicle seatback needs to be raised and lowered.
* The Click & Safe harness adjuster feature is supposed to make an audible click sound when the harness straps are tight enough but on more than one occssion, I heard it click when it was obvious that the harness was nowhere near tight enough.
* Allows for the tether to be used rearfacing
* When installing the seat, put your knee into the seat (putting as much weight into it), and then pull on the LATCH straps to get a tight fit.

* Allows installation in rear-facing mode with seatbelt routed over or under seat cover in seating area.
* Head wings may push child's head forward somewhat.
* LATCH connectors have separate straps; instead of re-threading through the belt path, move them along the bar under seating area to switch sides for rear-facing vs. forward-facing installation.
* Not suitable for most newborns at birth.
* V-shaped tether strap may make forward-facing tether use in vehicles with unusual or unusually located tether anchors difficult.
