Installation of the preemie insert is not difficult. This makes the buckle sit lower and tighter and seems like it may even help the head from slumping forward a bit, at least with a doll. You will notice that the actual harness height setting isn’t any lower, but the baby’s torso is raised upward to create a shorter effective seated torso height. On the right, you can see that the fit is marginal, but the harness slots are above the shoulders and it isn’t nearly as nice as with the insert. On the left, you can see that it is a very good fit using the low birth weight foam insert. Below are a couple photos to compare the fit with and without the insert on a preemie sized doll. That is very helpful for small newborns and preemies. That reduces the effective height of the lowest harness height setting down to around 6 inches or so (but it’s hard to measure exactly because of the shape of the insert). It’s thick enough that it essentially brings the baby’s bottom forward and upward. It has cutouts for the lap belt on each side and a slot for the crotch buckle strap. It’s actually a dense foam wedge that goes under the cover itself. It’s not a typical insert that fits around the harness and takes up space around the baby’s head and torso. I really have to talk first about the low birth weight foam insert.
