I decided that at 3 1/2 and turning 4 in feb that we are now FFers DD is too close to the 33 and 35 lbs maximums on her MA and RA50 to RF anymore and hasn't been for about a month and I have decided on no more convertibles for us I really really really really want to still live in the convertible world but the only two seats that are really worth buying at this point are the Radian:thumbsdown: and the CA . . . both of which I kinda hate a little. The Radian is an install nightmare for the amount of car-seat juggling I do on a weekly basis right now along with the fact that I hate the tinsy tiny sides on the thing. I do belive that there is something to be said for deaper wings, I just do :twocents: lol And the CA just makes me cringe, I really do want to like that seat, with the headwings and the no-rethread harness and much taller shell and 40lbs RFing weight limit, on paper it could be my fav seat EVER lol but then I go to the store again and try it again and am so overwhelmed by that cheap lightweight dorel feel to it. I might get some heat for saying it but I feel better with a sturdier, heavier seat . . . I mean how is that thin plastic supposed to withstand all that force and pressure from the harness in a wreck??? really??? I mean maybe if they were made to be lightweight and engineered for that purpose or something, but no, they are made to be cheap so that everyone and their brother will be able to afford them so that over half of the world will own one
SO . . . My dad bought Jocelynn a Nautilus to be a permanent seat in his car and we are going in install it in the morning and come feb when I get my tax refund I will be buying 2 frontiers and selling my 2 convertibles (maybe I will keep one just for fun lol)
So all I have left to obsess over is what color frontiers to buy I am thinking a cowmoo and a pink sky What girl wouldn't want those two seats lol.
I will miss you so much MA and RA50, you have served me well and had you been 40lbs RFing we prob could have been together for another 6months or so lol (sad thing is I always though my skinny little 5th percentile thing would have outgrown any seat by height long before weight, but guess what . . . she is my long legged, short torso'd model baby lol)
