First, I suggest returning your seat

The Alpha Omega has lower top usable harness slots: the actual top slots are for booster use only. Too many kids outgrow the harness before they're ready to use a booster correctly & besides, there are more dedicated boosters available. Too many kids also outgrow the AO as a booster before they're ready. This seat is advertised very well, but this seat has an increased risk of misuse because of the top slot issue. Also, 3-in-1 seats are considered jacks of all trades, masters of none. It will expire before your child is able to safely ride without a seat. IMO, the AO is generally good for RF, but poor FF. I personally would feel okay using it RF, but my child outgrew the harness FF the same time she outgrew it RF -- 2 years old -- long before she was capable of using any booster, especially 1 without deep head wings.

Will you be uninstalling/reinstalling 1 carseat from car-to-car frequently? If so, I suggest buying 2 seats to keep them installed which can help reduce the risk of misuse. What is your budget? Also, make sure baby has at least 1" of hard plastic shell above his head in the Keyfit. If not, then he has already outgrown it.

As for the issue of deep vehicle seats, a pool noddle usually remedies this problem. Have you contacted your local technicians yet?

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.

	Chicco Key Fit - Click for more info The new and improved Chicco KeyFit infant car seat (dubbed the Chicco KeyFit 30 thanks to its enhanced-to-30 lbs harness) has the same great features of the original KeyFit, but with a higher harness weight capacity. It is recommended that a child stay in a rear facing car seat for at least the first year of his or her life, and this infant seat from Chicco assures that your child will.
