I went because ds is about 30 pounds now and I could NOT get his Decathlon in rear facing with the seatbelt, it's been installed perfectly with LATCH, but I needed help getting the lockoffs closed and the seat in tight.
I knew more then the tech who was helping me, he had to keep asking his supervisor questions, which is fine, that's how he learns, and it took all three of us to get it installed with the seatbelt, they felt it was a good installation even though it was tipping slightly and reclined a bit more then 45 degrees. So I left, reinstalled it with LATCH, came home and had my dh help me to get it in with the seatbelt, it's perfect now. I was pretty disappointed with my carseat check experience. I think maybe my expectations were too high.
Afterwards I went to Babies R Us (I never get to go there, it's more then an hour from my home) and I played with the carseats, and just for fun I put my large newly 2 year old in the Safeseat1 and HE FITS! Barely, but he fits! He had just an inch above his head, and was at the weight limit of the seat. I'm pleasantly surprised that the seat will last so long!!!
