Question For those who have seen the new BV 70

ZephyrBlue · Jul 1, 2010

How do the new headwings compare to the older ones? Will they impede vision, do you think? We had one of the original style BVs (okay, we had a few of them

) but DS always leaned forward to see past them- I can't see how they would keep his head and spine aligned if his head was always leaning so far forward. Trying to decide between the MA 70 and BV 70 for baby DD.

TIA for any input

Thanks for asking this great question. I am interested in the responses you get! Another thing that frustrates me with the old style is the additional space the head wings take front to back, if that makes sense, because they do not lie flat on the shell. I find that no matter how hard I try, our advocate requires more forward space installed than our marathon even though they use the same shell. That means our front seat needs to be farther forward and in our car, even an inch makes a huge difference. So I would also really be interested in knowing if the back of the head piece for the new seats is more flush with the seat's shell. It looks like it might be, but hard to tell in pics. If not, I might not be able to get the marathon either.
