Does anyone have any pics of their older kids rf'ing in a MR that shows how they have comfortably positioned their legs?

My 3.5yo daughter usually ff's in a FRXT. However, it just kind of dawned on me to try her in her sisters MR....and low and behold she just barely fits. I am wanting to rf her for some upcoming road trips, but need some advice on what to tell her to do with her legs. She has very long, skinny legs.....so she'll probably just need some time to figure it out by trial and error....but I want to avoid any frustration that leads to asking to be turned back around before she even gives it a try....so I need suggestions to give her when I first put her in. Any tips?

Thanks!

You could come over and see my 4.5 year old in her MR when you pick up your Alma cover. (even if you don't want the cover, you can still come see her or I could likely meet you somewhere)

I totally still want the cover! Purple and flowery is one of my bribes to get her into the seat rf'ing!!!

Any idea when you will be done with it? No rush....I just don't want to make DD any promises that it will be here soon if you still need it for a while.....

:ROTFLMAO: well let me know and I'll make sure DD is available when we meet and then I can get her to show you what she does with her legs.

And everyone else, don't let this stop you from posting pics! That way she can have pics AND live action.

Seeing how much leg room there is almost makes me want to get another one if Zain hits 35 lbs. in his TFP anytime soon! He will be 3 next month and has about 3 lbs. to go before he hits the RF limit, but I am not ready to FF him! I had one at one time but ended up selling it. Given how relatively inexpensive they are on sale, it would be worth it to me!

He's not really an "older kid" yet, but he's an ERFer.

Here's my DS at 2 years, 8 months in his MR.

You talked me into a MA70 about 6mos ago....now its my turn to talk you into a MR....do it do it do it!!! I had my 3.5yo DD rf'ing in it for a road trip this weekend, and she's been ff'ing since she was 20mos.....and she didn't complain at all about her legs. It's such a roomy seat for older kids. You neeeeeeeeeed one!

If you search the forums from about this time last year, I have pics of all of my kids in it, ranging in ages from 7 (then) down to 7mos (or so, at the time).

I know, I am still thinking about doing it, especially since they are 20% off at BRU. It wouldn't be much money at all and I could keep him RF another 5 lbs., and I love the leg room in it! It would be my second go 'round with a MR. I had one but sold it to my co-worker for her grandson.

She'll be 3 in just over a month. Didn't think to take the picture until after I unbuckled her but I think you can tell she's comfy.
