I bought one last month when I got it for $153.99 from Diapers.com when they had the coupon stacking glitch. I planned on hanging on to it until Zain was ready for it, but then my friend/co-worker was in need of a new seat for her 3 year-old, J. He was super close to outgrowing the EFTA (FF) he was in so she wanted to get him a new seat and pass his EFTA down to her 8 month old, B, who was also close to outgrowing his Evenflo bucket. B is 25 pounds!!!
Anyway, since she really needed a seat I ended up selling the FR85 to her for what I paid for it to help her out. We installed it in her 2005 Tahoe this morning. It was a breeze to install with LATCH. I had it in there in about 3 minutes. Unfortunately, it took us nearly an hour to figure out that in order to fold down the headrest in the second row, you had to fold the entire seat up first! We searched the owner's manual and couldn't find anything (or maybe we were looking in the wrong place). Finally I searched online, and of course found the answer in an old thread right here! Simple, once I found the answer!
She and her son are very happy with his new seat. In fact, I rode with her to the grocery store (literally 3 minutes from my house) so she could run in while I stayed with the boys, and J fell asleep in it before we even got there, and she was thrilled that he didn't have head slump in it!!!
Now if only I had remembered to take a pic of him in it!!!
