Is there any concern with removing the memory foam seat pad? It just slides around and makes my son slouch more.

I fiddled with it for first 2 weeks then removed it. No issues since and far easier to place & remove kiddo.

It would be possible to remove. Over time, the seat digs into the foam, so you may have to lift the back of the seat some to get it out. Also, the seat may no longer be tight. You will probably have to unbuckle and reinstall to put it back under all of the way.

I've not had any problems. It has a slot to remove it is positioned in a way that to get it off you must lift straight up when the toddler seat is in the down position.

Our foam disintegrated as well as the padding that went over the springs. We chose not to replace it and we have had no issues however my children are 14 & 11. If yours are younger you might want to give more thought to replacing the padding. I have seen people use the pool noodles from the dollar store for padding.

Yes, it retains it's thickness and comfort, But, we have noticed a dark stain appear. I called the company before I ordered the pad and they told me that they pre-treat the pads for mold. So, I trusted their word and ordered it? As of today, the stain isn't any worse. I am just concerned because this is a known, and commomn problem with memory foam.

I use a wood floor cleaner on the chair and it cleans up nicely, although belt gets a little messy. My rambunctious toddler causes some minor wear and tear on the dark finish by banging on it with other toys but I no longer expect anything in this household to remain in pristine condition with two toddler boys about! Be sure to check and retighten the side bolts periodically. Otherwise the footrest can become loose and unsafe while your kid is climbing in and out, and the finish of the side edges of the footrest wears off because of the rubbing motion. I'm still satisfied with the chair overall. I use a wood floor cleaner on the chair and it cleans up nicely, although belt gets a little messy.

I added a gel seat cover. I did nt try to replace the seat. The gel pad makes it great.

There is hardly any padding on the seat or backrest. When our baby was little we added a padded head rest/support (like you would use in a carseat). As she got older and have used it without extra padding she has never complained about being uncomfortable...

There is a foam block/cushioned boost, in the brown zippered section seen in the picture.If you remove it, that will lower the seat position by a few inches and you can tighten the straps a bit more to secure the booster to the seat it is attached to .Hope that helps.

We never had that issue esp. when our son was an infant. Now that he is 18 months, he is all over the crib anyway, but the mattress did not pose a risk;

That only happened occasionally when my daughter fell asleep. Make sure if he is rear facing that before install you have reclined the seat all the way. Another thing we did to prevent this was adjust the height so that the head piece was more level with her head/ears; this actually seems to have fixed the problem with her head flopping forward because she can rest it to the side better.

It's going on a year since I installed mine. It uses 2 elastic bands that wrap around the seat to secure it. I've only experienced minor movement of the pad that required slight adjustments. This was probably caused by entering and exiting the vehicle.

I don't think you be able to use a pad on the seat but my son has no complaints about the seat he loves it

I have a Tempurpedic mattress with a 3" topper for a softer feel (a lower density memory foam than the TP) and I had the same problem with the topper moving off the mattress,even with a well fitted mattress pad. Very annoying,until I bought a "no-slip/non-skid" mesh originally used under rugs on hardwood floors. This solved the problem beautifully and the topper has not moved an inch under the mattress pad since. I bought a roll of the stuff from an online futon retailer which promote it used to avoid futons sliding off the frame. Cost total was about $14 incl.shipping.

I had that same problem. Find a long, narrow pillow and use Velcro to attach it to the pad. I found the self-stick Velcro, so just wrapped it around the pillow and the pad. It worked. But you can tie a ribbon around it or string to keep it on the seat. I loved my knee walker - saved me from being trapped at home and gave me mobility so that I could go shopping and just sit on the chair when I was tired. My granddaughter used to sit on the front of the seat and hang on to the bars to take a ride too. Good luck!

For my 16 lb 8 month old we don't have to completely remove the tray, just pull it back a bit, slide them in and push the tray tight. I had to learn to make sure their knees weren't up even a lil bit or the tray would bump themail because it's rather thick, which isn't a problem in anyway, just something we found.

It actually is the car seat as I also have the same problem.... :( We have another car seat in our other vehicle which does not have this issue.
