Graco Smart seat. Head rest all the way up.

Space, really, it is there.

Forward facing, just because.

Center. No way. It wasn't even in the base at this point.

Graco MyRide.

About 2" between car seat and vehicle seat.

Center did not work.

A special thanks to Pipeline. :) For the use of the vehicle, the pound cake, and for being awesome.



Best fit overall and the Marathon and the True Fit Premier. The True Fit lock offs and seat belt lined up perfectly. :)

Cool! I could not get the true fit to install in my aunt's outback. I believe it is a 1999 model. Things must have changed. It is good to know!

Yeah, they did change. I could fit a radian RFing in a 99 with tallish parents. I can't get it RFing in the 07 with short parents. Plus the seats are different.

I should add that I couldn't get the true fit to install rfing with the headrest attached. I got it fine without the headrest, but had to turn it ffing for my then 3.5 year old.

Who are you calling short? OOhhh, I'm gonna tell Julie. She'll be so mad. She's standing on a stool cooking in front of the oven. Wait 'til I tell her...:ROTFLMAO:

You *can* fit a rfing RN upright enough to work in the center in an 07.... But you really don't want to. It involves a locking clip in the belt path, a belt grabber thingy, a lot of swearing, and a fair amount of blood. If you have any other option, go with that, but if you are desperate....

Sounds like the wrestling match I had with an AOE clone this morning. Except I lost and put in my extra EFTA instead. I never have issues with other Dorel seats, so I don't understand what this problem is here.

Thanks for the pics, Judi! Nice to know a CCO fits even better than the TF.
I have no need for a CCO...I have no need for a CCO...I have no need for a CCO...(repeat as often as necessary)
