My parents bought us a Radian for baby -- I'm really happy about it; got it installed well in a test run, then brought it in to wash the cover before baby's born. Now I'm putting it all back together for baby --
I assumed I'd need the lowest harness strap for our newborn and the innermost crotch strap. BUT, with the lowest harness strap, when I install the 2piece newborn support, the body section doesn't fit behind the straps. It fits neatly if the straps are installed at the second harness height, but not the lowest; it has to be scrunched or folded if the straps are low, which I'm not at all comfortable with.
There are no instructions for installing the support cushions, only photos.
I want to get the seat ready and installed tomorrow. I will be 37 weeks Tuesday and leaving on a plane for for the Babywearing Conference in Idaho same day; I feel like having the carseat installed is important. I don't expect to have my baby in Idaho, but on the tiny chance I do, I want a carseat ready so dh could pick baby and me up if he needed to. Paranoid? Maybe. But regardless, it needs to be done.
So .... help or advice on which strap height to use and what to do about the body portion of the newborn insert?
Thanks!
