Pics of my two youngest in the GN and MA

I decided to take pics when we got home from school today. :)

I didn't get a picture because she's in a dress (saving her modesty and all that :eek:), but Kaleigh must be the only almost 4 year old in the world that needs the shorter buckle slot. I moved it back in because I noticed her slouching while sitting in the seat in the house. Even CJ seemed to need the farther out setting if he was the one using it. Weird, huh?

And as a very OT aside - OMG, look at the quality of the pics. I took those with my phone! I'm loving it more everyday. :love:


This is Caleb aka CJ. ;)
He's 2 years 5 months old, 29.9 lbs rf-ing in his MA in the center of the middle row of my Suburban.

This shows leg room and head room much better.

And just for fun (DISCLAIMER, THIS IS NOT HIS SEAT. HE WON'T RIDE IN IT AT ALL)
This is with it set up for my 6 year old. But from looking at it, if he did use this seat, he'd be at the same strap settings as my almost 4 year old.

My Kaleigh Grace in the Nautilus. She's 36.7 lbs and 39" tall. The Nautilus is installed in the middle row behind the drivers seat. Again, the seat is set up for Abigail (6). I wanted Kaleigh to try it thinking maybe she could go up a harness setting and that might help with the head slump, but this is too high for her.

This shows the harness setting. You can see the holes for the setting below it just peeking out. That's where I have it set for her.

I love it! It's so much cooler for the kids than the plush fabrics. In fact, Abigail's first comment was that she didn't get sweaty like she does in her PW.

I was worried about the fabric too after seeing it at WM because I kind of equated it to swimsuit fabric at first glance. I got it anyway because of the price and the girls loving the pink flowers. I'm glad I did. The fabric is much sturdier than I thought. I figure if it tears up, I'll get it replaced under warranty. :p If it's gonna tear up, it will do it before a year's up.

Now I'm wondering what seats have them same fabric type so I can get DS one just to keep him cool one these 100+ days. Hmmm, maybe he needs those CA's after all. ;)

Adorable kids!!!

FWIW, I find that head slump tends to get worst just after the headrest is moved up, so it's just as well that Kaleigh isn't ready to go up yet :)

My 14 month old fits the MA, which happens to be installed in the same position in our Suburban with a GN installed on the driver side as well, almost exactly like your 2 1/2 yo.:eek: The only difference is that my ds has a slightly longer torso and slightly shorter legs.:p

Oh, and your kiddos are soooo cute!

We love our daisy fabric! We like it so much that after a few months of using it, we bought a second one for our other car. And DD was in a very plush Britax before this. :) Coming from the cozy Britax fabric, initially I wasn't sure about it, but DD loved it from the start and still does and so far it is holding up well.
