With D-Day only a month away, we are making final decisions on a car seat purchase. What's the going opinion on 3 pt vs 5 pt harnesses in infant seats?
We are looking at the Century SmartFit Plus models.
I have read (in customer reviews of the CSFP) some babies push the chest clip on the 3 pt down to their crotch--effectively negating its whole purpose, right? I have also read what a pain the 5 pt harness can be to work with when you are strapping in an infant.
On an editorial note: Who is the cheezehead responsible for picking the Century fabric selections?? The baby may not care how nauseating the fabric is, but as the parents, we have to look at it a LOT. Century has probably the WORST fabric selection of all the infant seat manufacturers. Just my observation.
Thanks for your input on the harness debate!
