We have been having so many problems with my 2 1/2yr old in the car. He's making every trip so stressful. He is constantly hitting, kicking, scratching his poor brothers on either side of him, we tried using those pop up things in between the seats and he just pulled them out or pushed on them and it still hit them. Everytime we went to get in the car he would jump into his brothers nautilus and buckle up...he wanted so bad to ride FF. It's getting to the point where he's such a distraction with them all screaming and crying because they are getting hurt from him that I feel it might be even more dangerous that way. So today we had to move the seats around from taking one out and we decided to try the Radian FF just for today to see how he did. We were only going to target and back, so just about 2mi each way..which I know things usually happen close to home but yeah.
Well he was an angel, he was soooo thrilled to be forward facing, he did sit with his feet all pulled up which I thought was kinda funny lol. But since the radian is so low profile he can't even reach his brother in the nautilus next to him. It was so much nicer to be able to control him if he were to act up, with the radian being so tall I can't exactly reach over it to him, they are 3 across in an audi a6, can't reach around the side from the front seat, there was really nothing we could do to stop him.
Now I know he SHOULD be RF still, he's only about 27lbs fully dressed, he's 2 1/2 exactly as of tomorrow. I know of the 5x safer from 12-24mo but really is it bad to have him FF with the situation? I was so distracted by him acting up on the way to baseball on Thurs, it was raining and I almost rear ended someone and almost ran a stop sign Am I wrong to put him FF?
