Does this look correct? For some reason, I imagined a larger angle. When we put our three month-old in it, he would not keep his head against the seat, and seemed very uncomfortable.

I got 4 radian r100. Two are brand new. One has a walmart site-to store shipping label on it, so obviously a return. The seat looks good, though. The other seat shows no indication of being a return, but the red plastic is quite scuffed and the rubber pads have dirt and debris on them. Also, the gel pack had been opened, so gel beads are all over the package and seat.

My two compass boosters are two years old!

I'm not real happy, but at least I can return. What sucks, though is that these were the buy 1, get one half off. I'd assume that the seats I return will be the 1/2 off ones, which makes the seats I keep more expensive!

I called the manufacturer and they confirmed the seat has been discontinued and is replaced with Cosco APT 40RF. Not sure about specs but it looks really wide. Does anyone know how it compares in general to the Scenera 40RF?

DD is average size, just like her big brother. I have a 2005 Acura TSX, so a kinda tight backseat, and would love to install outboard so DS can forward face in the center in his MA. Leg room for passengers would be nice!

So, If you were me what 2 or 3 seats would you be trying out at BRU?

I love the B570 bc the belt path is so nice and low when it is used correctly. I don't have much confidence in someone using it correctly and putting the belt through the three guides given how I see boosters used there. I always make myself available to drive him but I'm sure at some point I may have to rely on someone else. Is there another great option with such a low across the thighs path that is a little more intuitive? We have a PWSG so I think that might be also challenging and I don't love the fit. ]]> Carseat Chat tl01 http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=222231 http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=222228&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 16:49:11 GMT I watch my friend's DD (4.5 yrs) once or twice a month and use a Scenera for her.
