So my big man is getting bigger and doesn't have a huge amount of room in his RA55 anymore. Plus I hate the big sides. Since he's still a floppy blob who doesn't help at all, getting him wrangled into the seat is sort of laughable at best. The girls rode in MA's until over age 3 and it was much easier to get them in. I have a RA50 in DH's car but the crotch strap is uber short. Like won't fit around his chunky legs. I don't remember the MA being an issue with Sophia (she was my chunk a lunk prior to JJ)
I saw the deal at Target and thought maybe I'd get another one to give him a few more months but then remembered the crotch strap. Plus he'll be in cloth dipes for several more years so he's not getting any skinnier.
So am I remembering right? The MA crotch strap is longer? I hate spending extra on a MA just for a crotch strap. It's 30 bucks more. Can you change them out?? I can't afford a Radian for him and even if I could, The thing installs like crap in my car.
If it's longer maybe I'll just looked for a used MA in swap. Honestly, I have to say the MA was the easiest RFing seat I've ever used. It was never hard to buckle or tighten. Kinda a bummer with all these new bigger seats with higher limits coming out, none seem to be as user friendly
If I can get this kid RFing to 2 I'll be happy. Not sure that's gonna happen at this rate
