Now that they've been out for a while ...
How old/big were your children when they outgrew the new generation Britax seats? ... Or do they still fit when you thought they wouldn't?
I hope this is in the right forum. I recently realized that my DD might reach 35 pounds (or close enough with clothes to make me nervous) before I'm ready to FF her. I've had 40 pound seats on my mind and I just saw the great deal posted in the shopping forum and am tempted to get a second one. Or maybe I should wait and see. I'm probably panicking because I am not in love with any of the over 35 pound RF seat options. Unless I've missed something, my 40 pound RF seat options (in addition to the new gen Britax seats) are the my ride and new efta65 that don't have shells much taller than the RA55, the CA that states a rear facing height limit of 40", and the user unfriendly Radian. Is that right?
And one other question, anyone else noticed the RA55 providing slightly more rear facing height than the MA70? When I tried them both, it looked like my DD had more room in the RA55 and that's the one we got. It would be nice to have one of their seats with the higher FF harness slots because I suspect that by the time my DD outgrows her RA55 RF, she'll be close to outgrowing it FF too. Thanks for the help and advice!
