I got my TFP from learning curve really fast So far I really like it. I hated the old version, but this one just seems much better. Easy to install and I like the built in mud protector from dirty feet Seems kinda like a waste to get it for a 30 lb child but I figured I'd use it until 35, then buy another Radian to get to age 4 if need be and my oldest can use the TFP forward facing then since she's almost out of harness room in the YS.

So here's some pics. I love the color and the material. It's super soft! The short crotch strap is interesting with cloth diapers though, that's for sure!

Sophia is 2y7m, 37" with a 14.5" torso and 30 lbs.

and Evelyn's ride

Oh gosh, I know this isn't the point of your post, but DD1 looks GREAT. Her face is so round and full and she has color in her cheeks!

Thanks so much!! I know, she looks completely different! Amazing what 6-7 pounds can do! LOL. She is so much more alert, has lost almost all her autism symptoms (still very quirky and has sensory issues but the actual autism symptoms have slowly disappeared), she is starting to get social skills and is doing perfect in school. Her gross motor skills are now age appropriate (last May she was at a 25 month level, she is now at a 46 month level). Her fine motor skills in April were 22 month level and now she is a 36 month level so we have a ways to go with that before Kindy next year. She no longer has low muscle tone, sits up straight and now responds to discipline

Okay my bragging is over now. But I'm so proud of her and the trooper she's been. She looks nothing like how she looked just 6 months ago. I'm in love all over again with my beautiful baby girl


For reference, 6 months ago at the height of her deterioration. No energy, very little eye contact etc

Amazing. She looks like a different kid. No, I mean, people say that all the time, but she actually looks like another child.

One thing I never noticed. For her whole life her fists were always clenched. They never opened and she rarely used her left hand. From birth on. You can see it in the two "before" pictures. That left hand was always closed. I just noticed the pic I took today. Her left hand is open

Love the TF, but had to post about Miss E! I thought it was possibly a cousin until I read the caption. I can't believe how wonderful she looks! The progress she's made must make your life a whole lot easier. You must be so proud!

I wonder if part of it was just that her extremities were cold from lack of body fat.

That baby can't be Sophia next to Evelyn can it? If so, WOW.. she's changed a ton too in 6 months!

Good job mama! Evelyn looks so great. You are such a good advocate for your children. Brings tears to my eyes.

That is a nice looking seat. I really want it for my Sophia in the truck. I think it would be the perfect rearfacing seat for the truck.

Wow, Evelyn looks wonderful, she looks like a healthy happy newly 4 year old.
