Reaching the harness adjustment for tightening and loosening is difficult when the child seat is installed; the child seat padding interfers with harness adjustment mechanism; head hugger blocks view of harness slots; very difficult to rethread the harness when changing harness slot positions; could misalign harness straps when rethreading.
