comment
" ...  I love that it has a spot to hold the straps out of the way while you are getting your child in the seat. ... I found that once I have my little guy strapped in if I first tighten the straps from the back of the seat (we are still rear facing) it becomes much easier to tighten. ... Grab right above the metal piece that is holding the straps on the back of the seat and then pull down, this pulls most of the slack and you are able to tighten the harness, then make your adjustments to the chest clip and shoulder pads etc. ... This has made the process much easier to get the right fit without feeling like you need to be He-man to do it. ... They work well for holding small toys though and it hasn't really bothered me.  ...  "
