Seat is Good for You If:

Quirks to be Aware of:
Vehicle Headrest Requirements
Joie wants the Basil to have vehicle seat support to at least the top of the child's ears, which will generally mean leaving the vehicle headrest attached to the vehicle seat. However, the vehicle headrest should not push on the booster's headrest. If your vehicle has forward-tilting headrests, this booster will not be compatible.
