I can't view the TC crash test videos

For those of you that have watched them and reviewed the info, is there any reason for me to not purchase the True Fit?

Nick is 25 months....26# fully clothed. He is now at the maximum RF height on the AO that we have. (Meaning that his head is 1" from top of shell.) I can squeeze another month or so out of the AOE but he does not like that seat as much and fights getting in it for some reason.

I was set on buying the True Fit to give him some extra RF time but I can't see any of these crash test videos from TC. Is there anything in them that is negative in relation to this seat?
Another option for us would be a radian I suppose, but I would want to make sure that there is actually a safety reason for spending the extra $120. I won't go that route if there are no significant safety differences.

If it matters, the seat will be in the middle row, bucket seat, in a 2005 Chevy Uplander.

Nope, no reason that I would have to not purchase a TF. My ds still rides in one rf'ing.

You may have people agree or disagree about the value of rf tethering as a result of the videos and say they will only ever use a rf'ing tethered convertible seat, but ultimately I'm not convinced anything has changed in relation to that - there's always been people who have felt that way... and in the end, rebound doesn't kill - it just looks awful in a crash test video.

So if you like the seat, it fits your son, and fits your vehicle, go ahead and buy it. :thumbsup:
