DH let me take a nap today, and when I woke up, I checked the tracking info... which said "Delivered to front door."

How does the install look?

I wound up bracing it on the front seat (but NOT using the seat to change the angle... just keeping it from changing when DS1 climbs in). Tethered to the inside of the passenger side seat track (no pic yet b/c I am embarrassed about the mess in the car... lots of laundry b/c our washer broke for awhile ).

2.5 twists of the buckle stalk.

Are the wings in the right place?

I am going to have to get another new seat.... because the kids are FIGHTING OvER IT. And I mean.. kicking, biting, screaming, clawing... "MY CAR SEAT!" "NO MINE!"




And my entire house? Yeah. I'm going to be finding those things for awhile.

If anyone wants any kind of comparison shots (w/o kids) of the RNXTSL, Nautilus, and EFTA, please LMK and I will take all 3 seats next time I work 3rd shift and get a tape measure... (nothing better to do than c-s.o chat anyway )

Did you buy it from someone here?
I was literally :scratcheshead: for a minute looking at the Britax box, packing peanuts, and a Radian. LOL! It took a sec to realize it's probably not brand new.

The wings look to be in the right place to me.

LOL thanks. Yes, they are cute. And yes, they are physically fighting over it. And tomorrow, when I put the GN and EFTA in MIL's car... they are going to cry because the new seat is not there. :ROTFLMAO:

Yes, I got it from Swap... so that's what the MA70 box is all about. The kids have discovered that, since we have floor A/C vents, they can drop the peanuts on top of it and they will blow up in the air like snow

I was confused too! I went back and forth between the box and the car seat a few times!

Your boys are adorable!

I love that red! I bought two of the same so the kids would have no logical reason to fight over seats. They still fight over who sits where.

Encouraging... that is... not... :ROTFLMAO:

I'm sure they will still argue. Without ceasing. It's how they roll
I think the second seat will be a CA. Just 'cause. They like variety and that way they can trade daily. (They are about the same size and almost the same weight)

you know, I looked at the origional pics up there and said to myself that your ds looked about the same size and age as my ds (I think there is 4 months difference?). And now, I also have an almost 2 year old that is catching up to his brother by torso and weight, although there still seems to be up to 10 pounds between them, but torso is getting closer and closer.

Okay, checked and it is 3 months.

Yes we have 10/06 and yours is 1/07... and our others are also three months apart (7/08 and 10/08).

They are less than 1" apart on torso height and 3lbs apart on weight, if that.

laughing about your popcorn mess cause we got a ups packaged frontier from a sweet mama here two or three days ago, and the popcorn EVERYwhere was a blast and a half for the kids, I made them clean it up (it was a game for them lol, Nolan loved it and Fiona was furiously working cause she is a worrier and did not want the cats or Nolan to eat it poor kid)

I got my Frontier the other day and my 3 yr old DD gave the new seat a cursory glance and gave me 30 seconds to fit the seat to her, then proceeded to play for over an hour in the box. In the course of the evening it was a car, boat, castle, motorhome (we saw a motorhome show earlier that day), motorcycle, cave and nest.

I was confused at first too looking at those packing peanuts because my MA 70 was delivered yesterday and I installed it this morning but there were no peanuts in my box (thank goodness because I hate those things!)
