I have no clue what to do about our seat situation
The Recaro YS is by far my most favorite seat and the only seat my DD has liked and tolerated. She is FAR from tall and FAR from 40 lbs.
However, There is 1" of adjuster strap left. I can't loosen the harness anymore. There isn't anything wrong. I took the seat out, put her in it, tightened the harness and looked at the back. IT was fine. That harness is just SOOO short! I've seen pics of other kids bigger in it, so I have no clue what is wrong with mine. Once winter comes with a little bigger clothes or if she ummm grows a teeny bit the harness will be at it's max. I'm super mad cause she has atleast 2" to grow before hitting the top slots
I don't know what to do. This seat isn't gonna fit much longer. I loved the low profile, the super buttery adjuster, how easy it is to buckle etc. The crotch strap is super long and always lays flat and I never have to dig for it when she gets in. And it's the ONLY seat she can really buckle the chest clip herself which helps me out. There is no head slump at all. She loves the side wings all around
She has to get a new seat. Most likely before the end of winter. I don't want a seat on a base so that limits me. She HATES the Radian with a passion.
Any other ideas? There is just no seat similar to it which annoys me to no end. Her autism just makes this so difficult. This was the *perfect* seat.
I've emailed Recaro and they said theres nothing they can do. When theres no harness left, theres no harness left. This kid is tiny! My seat must just the freak seat out of the bunch or something
GRRRRR
ETA: Her stats are in my siggy. She just got a feeding tube so should continue to grow regularly after this.
Seats that do NOT work that we've tried:
GN-in DH's car but she is rarely in it
Radian-head slump.
Radian XT-no sides, but she'll have to go in one anyways in DH's car when baby #3 comes but she is rarely in it
True Fit-she is so narrow and it was way too wide
Boulevard -self explanatory with the head slump
Frontier-horrible to install, horrible head slump, no sides
My Ride. Way too freaking reclined and way too high up
I don't mean it had head slump as in she couldn't sleep. SHe never sleeps in the car. I mean it literally pushed her head forward and she sat like that with her head forward the entire trip and fussed the whole time.
