Two quick and basic RN questions

I have a XT and wondered if I can use the pilllows past the infant stage? I thought you could use the one that goes around the torso area but then I saw someone mention you couldn't!
Also, will it be easy for me to figure out how to attach my carry strap for travelling? We will be flying with it next week. I have two RN (and travelling with one) so could I technically use both straps and make it a back pack or is that more trouble than its worth?

I'd definitely use two straps. There are web loops on the back and you just attach the straps there.

Don't know about your first question, though. Is the manual not clear on it?

I don't know if it's changed since I last read my radian manual, but the infant torso support can be used until 30 lbs. After that you can use it as a head pillow (on the 80, probably not the XT since it has a headrest).

I *thought* the manual called it a toddler pillow so I assumed it could be used but I may have read it wrong. DH has my car so I have to re read the manual when he gets home.
As far as the carry straps, is it obivious where the web loops are or are they tucked in? I dont mean to be a pain but I don't want to uninstall it just to practice w/ the straps!

They're pretty obvious, though they're not big. They're maybe 3/4" of an inch tall, black, little web loops.

You can read the manual at skjp.com. In the manual there's also a picture of the back of the seat, and the number 21s are the backpack straps.

In my xtsl manual the info on the pillow is on page 30. The info on usage limits is at the top of the page w/ a big bold warning sign and red print. :thumbsup:

My carry straps are very easily noticed loops of webbing. I too would use both straps and carry it as a back pack, this seat gets heavy quickly.

They are circled in this pic. :)
