Does any have an issue with the width adjustable headrest? What are the pros and cons?

All pros. It comes in tighter to your kids head and actually help the keeps their head up when they fall asleep. I guess in my world more versatility is rarely a con.

It was one of the features I liked at the time of purchase, but honestly, we've haven't needed to adjust it, in terms of the side flaps. The up and down motion works fine.

I'm not aware of any issues with the headrest so far. The only issue is the seat is fairly heavy so it's a little harder to switch it to another vehicle and strap it in. But it's really a very nice seat and seems to be comfortable for the kiddo. Good luck!

It has been a while, but here is what I remember. We returned these because the headrests did not sit well in our 2011 Ford Explorer. As a matter of fact if we had gotten into an accident I think we would have snapped our necks as the headrest did not "tilt" forward enough for safety for the driver and passenger. The units themselves were nice, but the tilt and angle of the headrest was a major issue for us.

Mine is definitely tilting, and it has gotten progressively worse over time. I feel like I'd fall out of the chair if the armrest weren't there. I think mine had a defect when it was new, but it was minor then and I was too lazy to return. In hindsight, I wish I had.

The headrest doe not recline. The entire seat back adjusts to the angle in your vehicle, and the upper headrest area adjusts up and down to position it properly for your child. We particularly chose this model for the extended side protection in that event. Our daughter does not sleep much in the car, however if she does we find she rests her head on either side of the padded side protection because of the design.

It's probably a little too wide. It would infringe a bit on your seat next to you. I did not like this seat at all so I returned it. It was too hard to provide sitting relief for my ailing tailbone. I went with a softer cushion material for the car, which has really done the job.

I noticed a small area last night but I tightened the adjustable head strap and it goes away. It sits on your nose without putting too much pressure on it so it's very comfortable.

the adjustment is pretty easy. you can adjust to any length you want. my 43lb dog can put her feet on the arm rest of my truck and stick her head out the window, and that is from the middle seat belt. i really like this product. it works best with a harness.

The headrest adjusts up and down to fit the height of you child. The shoulder straps also move with it so there is no having to adjust and retread straps. And the tilt allows to to adjust it on the fly even when your child is in it. We love this seat. The only down fall to this seat is the amount of space it takes up. It is rather bulky and may not fit in a small/compact car rear facing. BUT WE STILL LOVE IT! Worth every penny. And easy to clean.

We installed on the front seat head rests as well. You can make minor adjustments back and forth, but you cannot really recline the seat backwards. Any adjustments are minor. I haven't found a product yet that allowed for much seat adjustment.

No. I have a center headrest and have not used it yet because of that. I probably should have returned it. Very disappointed.

I think so... I didn't take my headrest off... just adjusted the strap after I put it over them.

I had a little trouble at first too, but now I have the hang of it. You have to bring the backrest portion all the way forward and then back slowly. You will hear it clicking. You may have to do if a few times before it locks in place. It took me a while to get it right, now I get it first try.

It's a tight squeeze if you can't move your headrest. I found that I needed to raise the head rest up for it to fit snug.

Yes. They adjust front and back. The resistance is quiet low, so even a fast stop will move the headrests slightly forward. If you lean back on them with any pressure they will move back. Not really designed for safety I guess. We constantly have to pull them forward so that they are more safe incase of a rear end accident causing whiplash.

It will not extend out from the headrest at all. The arm is fixed in place as far as depth goes. You can adjust it length wise and also the angle that the tablet sits but that is it.

I bought one for our element last week and it works we'll. I just used the bungees with the headrests and then hooked the bottom bungee under the seats. I would suggest getting the delux model with the extension since you need the height.

There is a head support built in, so you don't need to worry about it. Plus, you should always read the booklet that comes with car seats because many void the warranty if you add items like pillows, strap covers, and supports.
