I'm on my second one. The first one was the regular 50lb version, and now I have the 50lb LX. It's my favorite seat.
My only complaint, and it's not a big deal at all, is the straps. If DH puts DS in his seat, it's easy to get the straps twisted in the buckle tongue. I just take it and run the tongue up and down the straps quickly a couple of times before I buckle him in, and it flattens them out. I'm really hoping to put him in a CA in my car once he outgrows his Coccoro--otherwise my only option is a Radian, and I really don't want that.
Oh interesting, I didn't know the newer ones had better straps. I might see about getting the Rio one for my car, since I think it will go well with my Flora radian
I have a love-hate relationship with it.
I love the height and the air poofs.
I HATE the harness. I despise the continuous nature of it and the harness covers that you have to hold down lest they roll back into the shell. (Though I didn't experience twistiness.)
I hated the harness so much that when my daughter puked all over the seat I used it as an excuse to throw it away.
But now she needs a new seat, and I'm probably going to get her another one. I've decided that the air pillows make enough sense that I'm willing to put up with the PITA harness.
It would pair beautifully w/ the flora! If only i had a girl...
I'm just torn between this ca and possibly a marathon70? Although I like how low it sets like the radians.
An Aurora said:You could get a newer 50lb limit one, without the stupid harness covers, but with the better buckles and thicker straps
I have no desire for the 65lb version since I highly doubt any of my kids would make it anywhere near even 50 lbs before outgrowing it by height, and I'm not interested in the harness covers which I hear are a PITA.
