I recently bought my DD a TF and like most things about it, but I'm sort of torn on a few issues. First off it's a pain to adjust the harness, from reading on here I new it would be and I can make it work but it would be awesome if it would just tighten up without so much effort. And I dont really like how the straps come from so far behind the seat. It's harder to tell where they fall on her shoulders and makes them seem slippy. And of course I hate the 35 lb RF limit.
I got the TF bc she is so tall that the MR was not really recommended. But the problem is she's also a chubster (at least she is now) Her height has been off the charts since birth and her weight is around the 90th percentile. She weighs 20 lbs at 7 months and if she stays on her curve will be 35 lbs by the time she is 2 1/2. I'm pretty sure she will drop in her weight a bit now that she is mobile but I dont want to have her hovering around 35 lbs and with me having to weigh her every day. At least if she were outgrowing a seat by height I could just tell by looking, KWIM?
I got to try her in a MR installed in my car and I really liked it. The harness is more what I'm used to and it seemed comfy. Her head is pretty much even with the top slots maybe a smidge above. Is that pretty high up for a 7 month old or is it about average? Even though she is a tall girl her head is a little on the small side (in a cute way ) so I was thinking that might help. My 3 1/2 year old 38 lb DS could still RFin it. But he has a short torso.
I know she will probably outgrow either of these seats before I want to FF her. If we got a CA instead it would probably last longer but I jut dont like it. If she outgrows her seat before she is old enough to turn and nothing better has come out I would get one but I dont want to settle for one now.
Ok this is getting really long... I guess my main ? is about her fit in the MR now. Is it that far above average for her to be on the second slots up and the top of her head a smidge above the top slots? I'll try to get some pics to add later. And would you rather be obsessing over weight which you cant see or height which is easier to check?
