On a related note -

For 5/6 point harnesses, I've read that lap belt adjustment can be a pain and that the "pull up" style is easier. However, for the chest straps, I've read that the "pull down" style is easier. Is this generally true? Can you buy a pull down style harness and convert the lap belts to pull up? I think I've seen 1 or 2 systems that mixes them to get the "best of both worlds" but it's uncommon.

Edit - looks like some specific harnesses are actually designed as convertible pu/pd so I'm guessing that you can't do that with every system
