Cargo or True Fit for main seat?

Both would be "permanently"" installed in my car. But 1 would be for every day use, and the other for when she has a friend in the car (2nd row vs 3rd row if that makes a difference). The Cargo would also be put in SIL's car when she drives her (lately, less than once/ month).

So, which would you use as primary, and why? The Cargo does have EPS foam (my about-to-expire one didn't), but it seems thinner than that of the TFP.

It's a toss up I think. Maybe.

TFP is currently Retro Rails. It looks like it should be green. But it's a tanish-gray IMO. Cargo is currently a gray. The Cargo also has an inch of graco pedic foam attached, but that will be cut off soon because it annoys me (it's like infant padding, stitched to the bight of the seat).

The Cargo is currently in primary use spot, because I needed it there today. TFP is currently naked, gently latched in the 3rd row. I'm about to go rearrange seats, and put in a SR32 too.

ETA: I forgot this.... The cargo can only be used by Sofi, not her friends (they are over 40Lbs). So if the TFP is 3rd row, they could fight over who sits where? If the Cargo is 3rd row, there will be no question.

Steal your cranberry cover back from Learning Curve (that was the one they insisted they get back, right?). Otherwise, I'd let Sofi choose.

Yup, and I'm still kinda angry about it. Why insist on having my colorful cover, if you don't have any colorful options available? :whistle:

I do have a Misty Morning coming in the mail. And I have a Blue Aurora (peeling) that I may put on for winter.

Sofi can't choose. She's asleep.

The decideing factor was actually the tethers. With the Cargo 2nd row, I could see the 3rd row child loosening the Cargo's tether with their foot. I remember a family that had a child that liked to do that to her sibling's seat. I don't want to find out that Sofi was riding with a loose tether. The tether on the TF is different, and can't be loosened with a foot. So, TFP is the primary seat.

Sounds good to me. And I really like the misty morning cover. Its not too colorful but it has some color and it looks sooooo soft.
