I LOVE it!!! I love the cow! I've been wanting a seat with a cowmoo cover since DD1 was little (she turned 10 earlier this month) and now I finally got one :) I was pleasantly surprised at how much room DD5 has left RFing. She's 3.5 (4 in June), 39.5 inches, 35 lbs, and her torso is around 14 inches. Here are 3 pictures :)

I tried DD#4 in it FFing and she is just under/almost even with the second to the top harness setting. If she grows any, I'll need to move it up to the top setting, but she's still got a little growing room. She's 5.5 (6 in September), 43 lbs, 44.5 inches, and a 15.5-15.75 inch torso. No pictures of her yet though.

I am completely in LOVE with her red hair!! How cute is she???

I am surprised at how much room she has! She's the same height as my dd, and my dd just outgrew her RA50 rf within the last couple of weeks.

She's so adorable and has gorgeous hair!

Amazing that she has that much space left. She has almost the same amount of space that my DS2 has in the seat and he's about 10.5 months old;). He might have about 1.5 inches more room... maybe....

Thanks! :) I love her hair too. My mom always said she wanted a red head but none of my siblings or myself have red hair. So then she said she wanted a red headed grandbaby. I told her DD5 was her last change to get one from me :)

Most of my girls have pretty short torsos. I knew she'd still fit RFing, but I had no idea she'd have that much room!

So, I compared DS2 in his Blvd 70 and I think he has the same amount of torso height as your DD4 now. It's crazy they take up the same RFing room in the seat. I guess this reminds me that DS2 has a crazy long torso just like his brother did. I'm going to be hoping DS2 starts growing some legs:).

We have the same seat...love it.:thumbsup: I really think all the hype about the short shell is slightly overplayed. She looks like she's got a generous amount of RF room left...and my 15 month old definitely does.

Is it installed in a GC/T&C?

Yep. :) Its a 07 grand caravan.

I thought I recognized those seatbacks. I used to have an '09. Just for future reference: the plastic circle-y (so technical, I know) things that hold the headrest in break *extremely* easy when installing a FR85 on it's tallest harness slot. :whistle:

But, as I'm sure you know, installing RNs and MA70s RF via LATCH is as easy as it comes.

Yeah, I found that out...lol. I was installing a nautilus though. I called the dodge dealership and they said that they have come out with a new design for the headrest thingies (the plastic pieces). It will be like $20.12 to replace them on both captains chairs. I need to do that at some point, but I've got seats installed in both of them now and have the headrests off anyway, so I'm not in a hurry.

I love how easy it is to install car seats in them though! I haven't had any problem with any seat I've tried. Getting the radian in the center of the third row is a pain in the butt, but other than that, everything has been easy :) I'm really loving my van! I had an excursion before the van and really didn't like driving it (its just too darn big for me).
