The seat is safe, according to many tests. This is the most important criterion for a child seat. The impact shield does not interfere with my son also. On the contrary, he feels comfortable in the seat and also sleeps there regularly. We have three times the same seat in the family and when there is a very unpleasant quality problem is emerging. When a seat, the headrest crackled so loudly it was a smooth ride impossible. It bothered even the driver, which says a lot about the volume of the noise. The cause is the fixing styrofoam inserts on the headrest a very thin and stiff tape. This has been "lax" for so attached without tension. With a little higher quality tape with which you replaced the original tape, the problem is resolved quickly. Something like this should attract attention in quality control at the manufacturer. Despite the scandal, I would buy the seat again, but for lack of alternatives.
