Out of the seats I have which one would you put my 15 month old dd in?
Marathon 70, I just bought this and I'm not in love with it. Zoe dosnt seem to like it either. I think the hugs freak her out and with the deep sides she is kind of lost in it and can't see my other dd, if it would fit next to the FR85 then they could see/reach each other but I can't find any possible way to put it next to the FR85. And also it seems really upright and her head flops when she falls asleep (which I know some people are ok with but I don't like it).
Radian XTSL, I didn't think this would work RFing in our car but we got it in there the other day! I can't believe it but it seems to work, just had to do a seatbelt install with me and dh both working at it and we got it super tight and upright enough that it wasnt touching the back of the front seat and I could still sit comfortably with enough leg room in the front seat. Dd seemed comfy in it and didn't complain. And no head flop when she slept. And I *think* we could put the FR85 in the middle with LBP and the XTSL next to it on the passengers side. I wish it was more padded though cause we have a 4 hour drive back and forth quite often. Seems like the MA would be more comfy with all the padding.
True fit, she rode in this for 3 or 4 months already and did fine in it except for no head support. I was always worried about her head having to lean allll the way over to rest on the side. It's so wide! I would usually end up stopping so I could reach back and put a blanket next to her head for it to rest on. And I haven't tried it next to the FR85 but I'm guessing it wouldn't work since they are both so wide...anybody know?
she's 15 months and last time measured she was 30in and about 25lbs. We have a 09 Toyota matrix and all the seats mentioned above but I'm thinking about returning the Marathon and either using one of the other seats we already have or maybe getting a RA50 or...? We have a black car with black interior and it would be awesome to have both seats be cowmoo. But really all I want is Zoe to be comfy and happy (and safe of course!).
Anyways I just cant decide what to do. Should I keep the MA? Get a pool noodle to get it more reclined? Can I take the hugs off? Or return it? Is there any other seats that fit next to the FR85? The MyRide? Sorry this is so long! I'm probably way overthinking this like usual. TIA if anybody took the time to read through my silly rambling.
