My toddler is swinging all over the place on mellow rides, strapped tightly in harness! Is this normal? It seems so uncomfortable.

We have not experienced that problem. Just tried it out yesterday and there were no issues

I know what you mean. Mine was the same. Droops over the back seat. Follow the instructions when you are tying the straps. Try to get it as tight as possible. I took a bungy cord and stretched it under the back end. If you have adults in the back seat, they still might contact top. I don't carry passengers often, so it is not a problem for me. I would rather have this top than have to mess with the bars on a standard soft top. I was thinking about using a piece of wood with some foam to keep the back of the top from sagging. Good luck!

I'm having a similar concern. My little girl is 5 months old, 18 pounds, and her feet stick out over the cradle as she is 26 1/2" inches in length. Last week she managed to pull at the canopy and got it tangled in the mobile, so I've had to remove it. I'd say this swing is most useful for babies under 16 lbs and under 25" in length. I'm now shopping for something else.

Right, I've had that problem too. I think it has something to do with the smaller straps that hold those gray chest pads (forget what Britax calls them - HUGS pads?). I just pull the strap release (accessed through a slit in the seat cover near where the lower strap comes out between the child's legs), grasp the black clip that holds the 2 shoulder straps together across the child's chest, and pull that clip upwards until it moves no further. That's usually enough slack in our case to get our kid out easily. It does seem to run up against those little HUGS pad straps though.

I have th same issue. This is my only issue tho. I think as long as it doesn't slide around while my babies sit on it then I can live with resetting it. Shy of using duct tape, not sure anything can be done. I think the company should create a tighter or permanent fit.... and recall the loose ones to be exchanged for a better fit at no cost. Because the toddler seat is recessed in the Ltd there is really no reason for it to be removable.

I had the same problem. After looking through car seat installation guides online, I figured out that for forward facing seats such as this one, the straps for the harness needs to be threaded through AT or ABOVE the child's shoulder. Mine was set a little below, because that's the way we used to do it for the rear facing seats. Once I fixed that (it's now just a tad above my son's shoulder), I have no more problems tightening the harness. If in doubt, contact Britax as they steered me toward the right direction.

This might sound obvious, but have you tried reclining it a bit more? Also you may have the shoulder traps slightly too high, they should be at or slightly below his shoulders. This has never been a problem for either of my sons, I hope you get it figured out and end up loving your Pavilion as much as we do! Good luck!

The strap isn't elastic at all. It's a nylon weaved I believe. This might not be good for a younger child who is just learning to walk but if you want something to help stop a toddler from grabbing things of the shelf at store it's great! because it's doesn't allow a child to gets that extra stretch/bounce. I started using this with my daughter at about 20 months old. She was really fast and didn't understand how far she could go or not go from mommy so this helped her learn really fast that once the end of the harness is reached she can't go any farther and now she loves it and tries to put it on herself when she knows we are leaving.

My 2 year old rides this his Quad a lot outside in the grass and gravel. Occasionally, he does get stuck, but has figured out how to get himself unstuck. It is not smooth, flat terrain that he rides in.

she is safer kicking and screaming buckled in properly than in a booster that is not meant for a child her size/age. if you did put her in a booster, she would probably wiggle out or unbuckle herself, etc. sorry, but kiddo has probably another 2 years in the car seat. i say this knowing exactly what you are going through, and unfortunately my three year old is often just that, kicking and screaming, but at least he is safe. as long as i don't drive off the road trying to ignore him!

Yes!! Several times my daughter unbuckled herself without me knowing. I would not buy this seat again.

It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground. The cons for me is that it's a little tight in the back that it's a tad difficult for my daughter to get in the stroller and i usually have to lift her up onto the stroller. And the seat has to be taken out to be stowed and put back on the stroller when needed. But i think the rumble might be a little unsuitable for a 6mo old? If you can, go to a baby store that has it and see it. Because the rumble doesn't recline, the strap on it is not as strong and tight for younger babies.

It isn't completely flat on the bottom. We never removed our harnesses, but got an infant insert. One of the soft cuddle inserts, or a super soft blanket. She was great like that.

Yes, it is very hard for me to tighten the harness as well. I end up using my arms against the seat as leverage when I pull the harness tight, and I have almost permanent bruises from doing so.

There is a strap coming out of the front bottom. Gently pull it after the harness is snatched around the child's shoulders. This will tighten the harness. It was loosening of the harness that was tricky. It took us a while to figure out. If you need to loosen the harness, find an opening slip situated on the front edge between the child's thighs. Push your index finger into it and feel for a metal plate. Push down the plate while pull up the harness with the other hand. This will loosen it.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

I have never done it but you could anchor the harness to the sides of the changing table if it is the rung type (you have to have something to slip it through and wrap around). The harness comes up pretty high. Your little one would still be able to wiggle and flail legs but it would probably keep him from flipping himself over. It would take a minute to get him all harnessed up each diaper changing but it may be worth it. My 17 month old is going through that same stage - freaking out during diaper changes.
