Hi, this is super helpful. My daughter is 3 months 1 week but is on the 91st centile for height and weight. I recently purchased this car seat but the straps don’t fit on her shoulders, would you recommend removing the head support? She has a large size head but doesn’t have full control yet. Thank you
I will be honest, I find this seat very difficult to use for younger babies. It’s great when they’re older but I think the inserts are a pain. For a big three month-old you can probably remove the head insert, but if there is too much room around her head you can try taking the headrest up one click.
The recline is not set by age, it's more to do with how sloped the seats in your car are. For a newborn up to about four/five months you need to use the most reclined setting until they can hold their head up. After that it is safer in a crash to be as upright as possible, so I would install the seat with just enough recline to keep their head up when they're asleep, but not recline it too much.
