OK so I got the 2 Evenflo Maestros for DH's car after asking what would work in his car. That was here
D is 2y4m, 28.5# and has a 13" torso (can't remember her height its in my siggy...)
When I just sat her in the seat, she was above the first slots, so I put them on the second slots. But after I did that, and put her in and buckled her all in, she was *at* slot 1, but definitely not above by any means, and slot 2 was darn near her ears with the harness, and seemed to be cutting into her neck.
I moved them back down to slot 1.
Now the crotch strap question. It is set to the inner slot. It says in the manual "the crotch strap should ALWAYS be as close as possible to, but NEVER under, the child's bottom".
With her diaper on and jeans, the front of the strap is right at the front of her crotch, but the back of the hole for it is definitely under her bum. Should I move it forward to the front slot? It seems awfully far out...
I was only able to get 1 at my local store, so my mom picked up the second in Massachusetts on her way home, so I haven't tried C in it yet... other than her just plopping down in it.
I am sure I will have just as many questions with her fitting
