Thanks to everyone who input on my various other threads in my search for a new seat.
Got the Avenue --- DD fits SOOOO much better than in the store. I can't believe how different it is.

the last pic is the one from the store to compare.
However -- I must say, I didn't like the install. I am keeping th seat because the price is right. But -- you have to lift the cushion at the front to get to the LATCH --- but then there is absolutely no way to hook the elastic back on. I had to just shove the cushion back down in the space. The harness adjuster is hard to get t also -- it's pushed into the seat bacl. Also the belt path for the latch is really bad --- even with the cushion pulled back and pulling in the direction of the path --- it's situated at a really odd angle and it doesn't pull smooth. The latch belt basically comes out from the seat, to the hole for the seat, then doubles back toward the carseat again ,so it's pulling in an L angle and not smooth. I got the seat in, but I may try a seatbelt install tomorrow just to see if it's any better or easier.
Also -- anyone know where the TT stores when rearfacing? the instructions said to put it under the seat ... but I couldn't find anywhere to hook it to keep it there?
