I think I would just sit there installing it and uninstalling it all day... teach my 7 and 9 and 17yo's how to do it, etc...

Hope you love it!

I received my Cactus flower frontier CT on Friday. I feel your excitement! I checked tracking # twice a day until it arrived. I love it. Can you believe I haven't tried to install it yet
DD doesn't like how upright it is...she's used to RFing in a MyRide. I'm not planning on using is full time for a few months anyway.

I had a lot of doubts about it, but we've had ours for over a month and we're loving it way more than I'd expected. I hope you enjoy yours as much!

It's here!
It's gorgeous. But heavy! But so pretty.
Hate that I got home so late Will have to play in the morning.

I have a few not so great pics from tonight. (It was bedtime, so excuse the poor quality) I'll get more installed tomorrow I hope.

Z is so happy, at least so far!



just the seat



My 2 yr old had to try it. NOTE: I am nowhere near ready to FF her!



My 2 yr old at highest setting (or not, but didn't want to choke her with the chest clip LOL )


DISCLAIMER: **Sorry for the sideways pics** This is a quick jump in the seat and snap some pics to post because it was past their bedtime. I am reading the manual now and hope to get it installed tomorrow and adjusted correctly.
QUESTION: Do the head wings look too high on Z (first pic)? I got the shoulder straps just above her shoulders, but they look high to me)

That actually doesn't look like the tallest setting. When its ALL the way up the belt guides are even with the top of the torso wings. What's the dom? Make sure the rod isn't blocking the head rest from being raised all the way.

Well, that was when I pulled up on it without reading the manual or anything I'm sure I'll figure out more tomorrow. DOM is 07/2013 :dance:

And this morning. Took me a sec to figure out the Versa tether, but only took a couple minutes to install. She is happy so far.
Can't add pics

Re: Ordered our new Cactus flower frontier 90

She said her favorite part is the cup holders and the flowers.

Re: Ordered our new Cactus flower frontier 90

I had just convinced myself I didn't need a Cactus Frontier lol!

Looks great! Seats will be a difficult choice for me once my DD goes forward facing. So many cute ones with nice features

 

[Athena]

Glad you like it! We've had ours over a month and my DD has been loving it. I love that I can take it out of the car without worries about getting it re-installed quickly!

 

[mommytosavy]

My DD loves her new carseat with the cup holders and that it is pink!! Although my DOM 5/13 and I just talked to them today about replacing mine. I can feel the harness getting caught somewhere underneath the seat on something when DD sits in it. The lady was extremely helpful but couldn't figure out what it was getting caught on. I really hope the one coming will work better. I just hope it isn't my car!! Oh well I guess if it is still difficult then I will just know that my car is not car seat friendly!!

 

[TXmom2]

Does anyone else hear a rattle from the seat while it's unoccupied?

My Pioneer rattles a little bit. Between that and my empty B Safe base and the pot hole ridden road I drive down almost daily, I have a very noisy back seat :/...

If it is up higher it will rattle but I will either push it back down or just try to ignore it.

 

[Athena]

I had read about a rattling here and was worried mine would, but I haven't noticed that at all. Ours is up high too. I don't know, maybe it varies by car.

 

[TXmom2]

I don't hardly notice any noise now. Will have to pay attention and see if it's still there.
Almost 1 month later. She still loves it. She can buckle herself in all by herself now and absolutely loves the cup holders
