I played a little more today and installed in my 00 durango (seatbelt install). I haven't tried a latch install, but tomorrow is suppossed to be nice outside so I may play more. It installed super easy, and the belt path and didn't scratch up my large hands like I thought it would. Austin is 2yrs 8mths, aprox 42" and 41lbs. He sometimes doesn't want his pic taken.

I tried the booster mode w/out removing the harness. I've never tried a booster fit before since he's so young, but for size wise and fit I took a couple of pics.

I'm not seeing any photos. :confused: Just the little Photobucket boxes that say that the image has been moved or deleted.

I don't really like SpongeBob but that's cute that Gary's on the chest clip! (Or so I hear... Since I can't see it...)

Ok, the photos in the last post showed up. Weird.

The seat is totally not my style, but I have to admit it's friggin adorable.

Those headwings, though...they look awfully narrow. Like they'd squish her head if it reached them.

I'm seeing pics in the first post- those still not seeing them, did you clear your cache?

They're all showing up for me now. I didn't do anything different. Weird.

So it looks like the top slots are pretty similar to the Recaro? Or am I not seeing that correctly?

The Recaro measure about 17.5". I have the butt pad in.

I see.

I'm more interested in seeing how kids fit vs the "official" measurement since the way a seat sits in the car can affect how kids fit.

Thanks, we think she looks like Dora too, we call her dora doll sometimes :)

The crotch strap is about 1" longer the gn.

I don't think I'll be keeping it, although Austin would love me to. He keeps saying my squarepants seat and sitting in it. Imo, it is a little cheap for the price. The harness, although great color, is thin and twisty. I've had it twisting behind the chest clip already and it hasn't been used. The chest clip is adorable, but also very cheap feeling. I personally think the price would be set at closer to $100 for what it is. It offers a recline, and the manual is very thorough. As with any seat there is room for improvement. Spongebob is weird also, you can feel his nose.
