Think I found my solution- Priori

I know it's not a popular seat, but it seems like it's going to fill our needs for now.

DH is 6'5" and needs the drivers seat all the way back. Need the rearfacing seat behind the driver for DS's school drop off. DD is only 5 months and outgrown the KF30. She still needs the 45*recline (can get away with 40* I think). Tried the roundabout and coccoro. Roundabout wouldn't allow DH to push seat back, coccoro wouldn't install in my van.

The Priori fits great!! Won't last too terribly long, but will get us through until DD can be at 30*

I really like the seat, not sure why it's not more popular.

(wish it were dorel, but so far that's my olnly complaint)

--meant wish it weren't dorel!!

it seems strange that a 5 month old has outgrown the keyfit30... is she still under the weight limit? the height limit is only a guideline... there just needs to be one inch of seat above her head... most babies last a year in it... some longer... my daughter fit in one @ 15 months... just checking... :thumbsup:

Yes, she's a big girl. All torso though. She has one inch abover her head in the KF30. I'll have to get some new pictures tomorrow.

She's only 20lbs and 29" (People mistake her for a one year old all the time. Lady at the store the other day: "Is she walking?" uh,no. Funny thing is, I'm 5'4" and 120lbs trying to lug this kid around. :)

here's one from a few weeks ago (so she's almost 6 months now) :)

Tomorrow I'll get some pics in the Priori if you really want to laugh! It's rediculous how little growing room she has in it.

She is one big girl. She reminds me of my DS who was 19 pounds and 27.5 inches at 4 months. My DD on the other hand is 18 months old 31 inches and 22 pounds 2.5 ounces.
