Turned my 4yr old back RF, pics :) (lots of pics)

mommyof3tx · Jan 10, 2010

Hope it's ok to share here, so excited about it

This was when I first installed it, how does it look? The car is on a big hill so can't really tell the angle...it fit perfect in the middle

3 Across, RF marathon, RF Radian and Nautilus

My 6yr old re-harnessed, he has been in a booster for awhile

My 2 RF

My 4 yr olds feet in this just make me laugh

Happy to have this seat, more comfy he says.....is the headrest right?

28mo of RF

Happy to be RF....it doesn't look it in this pic but he has a good 3in above his head, I was surprised by how much room he has

Comfy at almost 5 yrs old!

It looks like you've done a fantastic job!

I can't tell in the first photo, did you get the rear facing tethers on the Radian and Britax set up?

mommyof3tx · Jan 10, 2010

Nope I can't find ANYWHERE in the car to do it

The only thing that keeps the front seats to the ground is moving parts. I've looked all over. I even had some really nice mama on her send me the Dring for my Britax for free and then I couldn't use it

If anyone has an Audi A6 that knows of somewhere to tether that I haven't found please let me know

The Nauti headrest can come down one click if it doesn't cover the harness slots.

Also- is the 2yos harness set below his shoulders? It doesn't look like it, but picture angles can lie.

In the Marathon? Yes but just barely, it's actually just about even with it...he's so tiny, it's only on the 2nd slot now lol

Awesome! Just had to double check.

:thumbsup:

And yes, like the PP said, the GN's headrest should click down one more time. It should hit right above the harness slot being used at the time. :thumbsup:

Ok thanks I'll move it next time he's in it

Judi · Jan 10, 2010

Sorry, no experience with the A6, what does the front seat look like, where it bolts to the floor?

From what I saw the only thing that bolts to the floor is the track where the seat moves forward and back, then the seat just attaches to that and moves. I pulled off the plastics and it looked like everything was something that moved. I didn't see anywhere I could loop or hook on the track that was bolted to the floor that wouldn't be in the way of the seat moving back and forth

Yep, loop around that track. Sorry, my pics aren't great.

WOOT now I won't have the only RF'ing 4 year old on this side of town (well this side of DFW) LOL

mommyof3tx · Jan 10, 2010

Ok I'll see if I can do that, I tried before but from what I remember it was completely bolted flat on the ground but I'll check again to be sure.

I felt so much safer riding around with them today, and them all liking their arrangement makes it even better

sometimes you have to move the vehicles seats up to access that spot properly, and then you can move the seats back, watching closely to not hit the D ring.

Judi · Jan 10, 2010

That, and you can try putting a credit card inside the loop, to help feed it through.

noahsmom24 · Jan 10, 2010

Yay! Looks great! You have a good looking bunch!

This all makes me wish I could still RF my 2yr old

I know he'd be so much safer.

I recognize you...TMP??

Judi · Jan 10, 2010

Yeah, I have spent too much time upside down in the back seats of cars. Ya learn tricks to get off your head.

Wow, um, get you mind out of the gutter.
