Hopefully these pictures don't come out too big, they looked fine in the preview, but let me know if I need to change them.
A little background on our ERF journey, I had fully planned on keeping her RF for as long as possible. But that came much quicker than I had anticipated when she was 32lbs at her 18 month appointment and we had a 33lb Marathon. So I turned her FF at 19 months, right before DD2 was born. She was 36lbs at her 2 year appointment so really even buying a different seat at the time wouldn't have bought us much time. So then all these new 40lb RF seats started coming out and of course she was already 38-39lbs at the time so I didn't feel like I could justify the cost. But as soon as I heard that the SL models of the Radians that could RF to 45lbs were coming out I was sold. I bought one as soon as I could and the first day she rode in it (beginning of November) she weighed 41lbs
So I had already decided that I was just going to turn her back FF when she turned 3, but I felt very good about my decision to keep her RF for even those 2 months more. She weighs roughly 43lbs fully dressed now, so I probably could wait another month or so, but with another baby on the way I didn't want to stress about it every day.
So here she is at 43lbs and about 40" (might be 41" now) and 2 days shy of 3 years old
Looking at the pictures now I think her chest clip is a tad too high, and the headwings could have probably been moved up a little. We did have it more upright when we first installed it, but no matter how tight we got it because of her weight it would recline more and more every day. And as you can see she probably doesn't have too much height left even if she wasn't so close to the weight limit. So back to the Frontier she goes now.
And I thought I'd add one picture of my other ERFer, she is 16 months and about 27lbs and 31" And thanks to the XTSL she will definitely make it all the way to 3 before we even have to think about FF her :thumbsup:
She usually looks cuter than this in pictures, she wanted to play with the camera more than she wanted to smile
