I decided to get a smaller Britax booster (Parkway SGL) without all the padding and harness. After removing the Pinnacle to install the Parkway, I noticed that the side impact padding could be removed from the Pinnacle. I removed the padding on one side of the Pinnacle, reinstalled it, and now my seat folds down (it's still a bit snug though).

Even though I removed the pins so that the headrests would tilt, I didn't have any problem with the headrests pushing the booster too far forward before then. And the booster reclines just fine.

Here's my take and photos to help anyone who wants to remove the headrest pin and to allow the headrest to swivel fully. Please read those posts first if you ever want to try this, understand what you are trying to do. Then, read my post for addition instructions.

First, unlike others, I took a shortcut - without unwrappring any headrest leather cover/foam. And, I only pulled down ONE tab - each headrest cover has two tabs hook on to the retainers.

1. I found it easier to undertake this task by climbing back to the 3rd row seats. As mentioned in post#208, pull the right end of the front tab about 3/4 inch to the RIGHT (sitting in 3rd row, facing front of the car), simultaneously, pushing the left end of the tab. The leather cover has certain lubricant, so, you want to get a good grip of the tab when you pull and push without tearing the seam.

2. When the tab is "curved" or "off" sufficiently, it can be pulled DOWN from its retainer track. The hardest part of this job is done.

3. There is another back tab holding in the rear part of the headrest cover, I found this tab harder to pull off, so, I did not remove it as others did (see photo).

4. The pin can be seen just with one tab pulled down. Use a hammer and a screw driver to knock the pin forward and completely off from the pin hole. Since I did not unwrap the headrest cover, my pin is remained inside the headrest. But, with the thick foam, I feel it will not bother anyone or make the headrest uncomfortable.

5. Insert the left end of the tab back in around the middle part of the retainer and simply push the whole tab back in. The tab will snap back in relatively easy.


About 20 - 30 min for both headrests on my first and only attempt.

However, if your 2nd row does NOT have the EZ-Entry feature, then the outboard headrests are removable per the instructions in the manual.

That's what's happening... keep the beat !
