We had a TF and I didn't love it RFing but it was the old kind and my daughter was super scrawny who sat in it (41" and 24ish pounds at 3) It swallowed her up! Her head couldn't even reach the sides
I need a new seat for DD2. She's much wider in the shoulders and bigger all around. She lost 6 pounds this past week, but I anticipate her gaining it back with no issues
She's in an XT in my car but that needs to move to DH's car (I have a van, he has a sedan) to accomodate our 3 across. I was just going to get another XTSL for my car. I have no intention on RFing to 45 pounds (or probably even 40). I turn my kids around 3.75-4 years old.
So she will go forward facing in the next year. She's on the top slots of the Radian FFing (the few times she's ridden that way) and she looks very cramped in the seat now. I can't imagine how she will look in another year or so when she goes FFing. She just looks plain squished and doesn't have lots of growing room
So then I thought of the TFP. She could use it RFing now until 35 pounds which should be about 3.5-3.75 years old or so and then turn FFing. It would give her more shoulder room. But is there more harness height on the TF over the Radian?
My other concern is where she is sitting has no top tether and one cannot be retrofitted unless I pay $180 which isn't going to happen as we will get rid of the car soon after. So then I feel that she's better off in the Radian FFing with no top tether vs the True Fit
What do you think I should get of the two?
