Car seat nightmares!

So, I started with an 8 week old daycare baby girl :love: They bought a blvd70 :eek: for me to use! So, she fits in it great (after taking off the hugs, crotch pad and shoulder pads). But when her mother came to pick her up I noticed that she had another blvd70 in her car installed at about 30 degrees :eek: So, I explained the whole head control thing and got a pool noodle and reinstalled her seat. But she has an older Jaguar that has these horrible scooped leather seats :mad: I'm thinking I'm going to need more noodles to get the 45 degrees. Britax allows 3 noodles (pyramid) right?
Oh, and when her father dropped her off in a snugride 35 :thumbsup: it had a bundle me, head roll thing and aftermarket shoulder pads :doh: So, I took everything out :eek: and the baby fit just perfect. Neither parent said anything....we'll see how tomorrow goes :cool:

I don't think Britax states a noodle limit. I needed five under Laine's True Fit when she was a newborn.

Also, see how she does. Some eight week olds can be more upright (I think I moved Laine to about 40º then).

Ok thanks :) I just installed the Blvd in my van in the 3rd row and it was at about 40 degrees. I will try and take pics tomorrow with her in it. I have a Triumph65 but there is SO much crotch room, even with a folded wash cloth :confused:

at least they are doing better than so many others! I'd just mention all these things to them as a person who has BTDT to a person trying to figure out carseats.

Do you have a pic of the install with 5 noodles? I'd love to see it.
