*** Much better photos posted in post #10 - booster in vehicle ! ***

Cover and back

I will take better pictures tomorrow when it's not so late and the kids aren't so tired.

wow... all 3 of your kids have the broad shoulders (aka.... your girl is broader than mine, who is not like her brothers)... they'll all do fabulously in Montereys when the time comes... and someone looks mighty proud to have a booster that is truly for BIG BIG kids...

Yeah, the poor thing is built like her mother - a brick poop-house.

you'll have to check the fit of the belt with the monterey for Boo. he's already leaning (1st pic- tho it could be because of the couch). he has tons of shoulder room which might not make it the best fit for him. i have trouble with my DD who is much thinner in shoulders than my sons

Kat_Momof3 · Nov 26, 2009

it looks to me like it's the couch... reminds me of my kids trying it on the couch...

and Kashi - her broad shoulders are a good thing... you'll be able to have all your boosters look similar and coordinate with each other... I miss having a car full of nothing but Britax... I would love to have a car with nothing but SKJP products... I like things to match/coordinate/line up in terms of brand name.

Lea_Ontario · Nov 26, 2009

Right now, we don't come close to matching !

Van :
- grey Nautilus
- black/blue True Fit
- pink Radian

We'll be switching them up when Boo outgrows the Nautilus or proves he's booster-ready. Then it'll be :
- black/red Monterey
- grey Nautilus
- black/blue True Fit

Car will be a bit closer :
Currently it's
- grey Parkway
- grey Radian
- black/blue Intera

After the switch it's going to be :
- grey parkway
- grey Radian
- pink Radian

Kashi has the sweetest, most well behaved children

I am going to sneak Bug for a sleep over sometime next summer. Her and Ryanne will have a blast.

Love the Monterey, I want one, but now I really like the red/black..... damn you, I was all set on the pink/grey one.

Here I was sure you had met MY children

Apparently not. *lol*

Now - if the crew will co-operate, I'm going to head outside for a bit with a seat, a camera, and three wild, wacky, impulsive kids. Wish me luck ! *lol*

Okay - they were quite co-operative actually !

But what do you think about the fit ?

HONEYhas3 · Nov 26, 2009

Boo looks good in it, shoulder belt seems well placed and lap belt low on the hips/thighs. Can the sides come in anymore, it looks a touch wide.

Bug looks ok in the shoulder area, its way to wide for her, and looks like the lap belt is to high.

Take all that with a grain of salt, I'm *just* getting into boosters

unityco · Nov 26, 2009

What was your DOM, Kashi? I got one a few weeks ago and it was 12-12-08. Did you adjust the seat for Bug or is it just where it was for Boo? (I'm wondering about the headrest height - Debbie suggested I raise mine to make the shoulder belt fit DS better. I wonder if she was suggesting to me to go as high as that. :scratcheshead: )

I'm glad you finally got the seat after the fruitless trip! :thumbsup:

So, not quite 2 months old.

I didn't adjust the seat for Bug, since it's not for her to use. The 'wings' were all the way out (I brought them in), and the headrest adjusted for Boo's use.

Yep, a year old - was it on sale at all ?

Yeah, I got it at BPP too so it was $99. I think it was an open box too - there was a Britax chest clip in the packing bag.

Lea_Ontario · Nov 27, 2009

Observation is obviously NOT my strong point - I'd never noticed your location was Toronto !

We need a TO-ish CS-Org get-together I think.

Yes, that would be cool! :thumbsup:
