Someone with RF Scenera experience/manual. I have a ? for you!

[stayinhomewithmy4]

I'm going to help my friend/neighbor with her car seats tomorrow. I know that her 18 month old is FF in a Scenera, but when I offered to check her car seats for her before they leave on a long car trip (they're leaving Sunday, driving from NW WI to N Carolina!) she said that she knows I'm going to get on her for having DD ff! And she's right! :p Her DD is 30 lbs, so would probably make it to at least 2 RF. Anyway, my question is this: if I convince her to let me turn her seat around, is the seat belt supposed to go in front of the crotch strap (between the crotch strap and the front of the CS) or behind it (between the crotch strap and the back of the CS). I'm just asking in case she doesn't have the manual. And, also, she bought her Scenera back in about Sept. Do you think there's any chance the manual would state the new height requirement for FF? I can't remember what it is, though. Someone remind me, please! I'm hoping that she'll have the manual and it will have that taller height requirement listed for FF use and I'll be able to say she has to turn her back to RF! :thumbsup:
TIA!

No manual, but I can answer a couple of your questions from discussions on the board here.

IF her seat has the new height requirement, the minimum is 34" for the seat to be used ff'ing. If she doesn't have her manual, the info should be on one of the labels attached to her seat - I'm assuming US seats have the pictorials the same way as CDN seats with the height/weight limits for each mode and the belt path being shown for both ff'ing and rf'ing.

I'll let someone else answer your other questions. :thumbsup:

I'll check my manual.

I am sure it will say 34". Also, the manual shows the seat belt out the outer side of the crotch strap.

Yup the manual says in front of the crotch strap, not behind it. I have a manual I can send you electronically if you want to email me through the banner below.

That's what I kind of thought about the seat belt because I remember reading that it's the opposite of the Britax seats that have it behind the buckle. Thanks for all your replies!
CRS- I emailed you! :thumbsup:
