I'm in CT visiting family(I live in MD) so I don't have my car. My mom, step-dad, Nicholas and I rode up in my parents truck(Ford F-250 SuperDuty). My brother is picking Nicholas and I up for lunch in a bit. I can't take my parents truck and my brother only has a little 2door sports car(I know it will fit FF but I'm just not sure about RF. My cousin used the same seat FF in my brother's car last time I was up here. I installed it for her, I know it fits FF but it never dawned on me at the time to just see about it being RF). I'm defiantly going to try to put DS's car seat in RF like normal but if it won't fit I'm going to have to FF him. I know that he's 2 1/2yrs but I'm so nervous about him being FF for a trip that will take more than just a few minutes. We will probably be out all day. It just makes me nervous because he's so little still. He's in a CALX, I know that a good FF install is better than a crappy RF install.
He's going to be fine right? I know he's going to be strapped in properly and his seat will be installed correctly. I think I'm just over worrying. But only you guys would understand my hesitation. We just don't have another option for a car today. It's the only time this weekend that it will be a problem because we will be at family functions with my mom and step-dad tomorrow and Sunday and we drive home on Monday so he will be in the truck.
I just really feel like a bad mom if he needs to be FF, because I know how much safer he is RF.
