SO I went to BRU to try out some more seats in my (stupid) car LOL. The MR fit kinda but I am not sure I like how it fit and I did not get any pics of it. But Here is the Momentum65. It looks like it is touching the seat but it is not, barely but it isn't. Oh and I the sure latch

Is it reclined enough? HOw does she look in it?

What a cutie! I'd try to get it 100% on the seat with no overhang if possible. See if you can "reset" it 100% on the seat and then retighten. Recline looks good for an older infant.

I don't like the overhang, otherwise it looks great and she looks great in it!

Im not sure I could get it in there w/o the over hang. Is Over hang allowed by evenflo?

OMG, your dd is soo sweet!
That small amount of overhang wouldn't bother me, provided it is allowed in the manual.

I can't think of any seats off the top of my head that some overhang isn't allowed expect for combo seats and boosters.

As far as I know, evenflo allows overhang (it's only when they specify that overhang is not allowed that it isn't allowed, like with Graco). I just thought it would look better if you could get rid of the overhang but if you can't get rid of it, I guess it's fine.
I am not a tech though so maybe check with evenflo and/or a tech to make sure it's ok.

Does anyone think that from the side it looks like a CCO on steroids?

LOL!




And the overhang is fine, unless the manual says no. And.... I'm pretty sure all convertibles allow for up to 20% overhang.

Looks good to me. Im pretty sure that Evenflo allows overhang as long as 80% is on the seat.

Im loving the Momentum. Im seriously thinking about going and testing it out ! lol

Yeah, that is very minimal overhang. Doesn't bother me at all.

Wow, so much like the Symphony. That gap at the bight is kind of vexing if you have a newborn that needs more recline...no easy way to stuff a noodle under it. Looks awesome for an older kid, though!

That's what I was thinking. Someone asked me the other day if they could put a noodle under the base of a Symphony. Is it OK since the base is so far from the bight?

THanks ladies.

I REALLY liked the seat and am glad I now have a 40lb RF option for my car if I can't get the TF to work when we need the headrest. In the pic from the side the only reason you CAN see her head is because she was trying to eat the harness LOL but when she pust her head back you couls NOT see her at all And btw that thing was HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY LOL.

I don't think it's not ok, I just don't know what huge configuration of pyramid you'd have to build so the gap can be filled...it's just such a big gap!
