Relatively few car seats adjust automatically to the amount of clothes
(or, equivalently, to different-sized children).  I would strongly
recommend a self-adjusting model, one whose straps (if any)
do not have to be manually loosened or tightened through D rings.
F-P and maybe others have a seat with straps on a retractor,
like auto seatbelts.  One other model has straps that are put on loose
and then pulled tight at the shield each time.  Cosco has one
we use that has a self-adjusting shield with no straps.
Remember, there's nothing magic about a car seat.  If the restraints
are not on, or if they are not snug, it isn't worth much.
