Pros and cons

Pros

Front-access headrest adjustment and automatic shoulder-strap repositioning may make growth-related adjustments simpler.
Two recline positions, harness holders and cup holders add practical convenience for regular trips.
The listed narrow exterior may help families exploring a multi-seat rear-bench arrangement.
