I was at Target today, and swung through the baby section... much to my surprise I see a Size4Me box sitting on a clearance endcap!! I figured maybe they were just stocking them and it was going to be regular price... but it was $115 love:!!!) and I definitely couldn't pass that up.
Surprisingly, it's not the Branson pattern? I have no idea what it's called, I can't find it online anywhere and I already recycled the box. ETA - Darren says it's called Grafton and will be sold at Target along with Branson.
Anyway, pics:
Rear facing - Sam is 4 in a couple weeks, 34 pounds, 40" and I can't remember his torso height but it's definitely short, he's mostly legs.
Speaking of legs, VERY pleased with the leg room!!
And this is the headrest all the way up. He was only on the 3rd click I think when I adjusted it properly.
Forward facing:
This is the upright FF position (required for over 40 lbs)
And the reclined forward facing position (optional for 22-40 lbs)
Harness all the way up.
Here's what the inserts look like
Close up
And one more. The outer gray is plush-y, the inner is a slicker fabric I don't really know how to describe. Almost like a winter coat, but softer I guess. I think it'll wipe up nicely - I like it!
My impressions:
- A little harder to install than I thought - RF was pretty easy, but FF in both recline positions took me some time to get it tight. I did have to twist my long belt stalk, and there's just not a good spot to pull the slack from (seat belt installs, I don't have LATCH). I got it, it just wasn't as easy as I think I expected.
- My biggest gripe though is the harness adjustment. It does not pull very smooth at all. I had to yank the slack from the hips, and then really pull on the strap to get it tight and it was still difficult. FF was easier than RF, but still not what I would call easy at all.
- It installed RF more reclined than I expected - from other people's impressions I thought it was going to be trimmer front to back but I had to move my driver's seat up (and I'm not very tall). I was well in the green though, I think with some playing I could get it more upright though.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it though, I think it'll be a great seat for kid #2!
