Anyone find the True Fit to be too wide for toddler?

KristinJ · May 19, 2011

I know I'm asking lots of questions lately- so bear with me. I'll decide soon, I promise.

So- has anyone found the True Fit to be TOO roomy? My DD is almost two, just 21 lbs and 32". I love the leg room, but the Roundabout hugs her better (although will it be too tight when she's three?). I haven't been able to test out sleeping in the True Fit...is it hard for their little heads to reach the side to lean against it for sleeping?

why can't I decide between these two seats? I like them both! We plan to have another baby, so if the ROundabout gets small for her that can be passed down, and we can get her a Nautilus when she's ready to FF. On the other hand, the True Fit should fit her until booster age....but we'd still have to buy a new convertible for another baby.

I did not like it for my 3 year old for sleeping, as her head could not rest on the side.

I think it's fine for sleeping. My 3 year old doesn't have any trouble resting his head on the wing. If that doesn't work, it's wide enough to shove a pillow in there between the kiddo and the side. I really like its roominess. It bothers me more for big kids to be squished than for little kids to have too much room.

I have used the TF both for DD (currently 3yo, 30 lbs) since 18 months, and DS since birth. Neither has a problem sleeping in it. Head loll to the side, but don't look uncomfortable. They don't end up at a weird angle, it's just like they were looking out the window or something.

If you get the TF now, you could still pass it down to a new baby if you want. The TF fits newbs wonderfully.

I didn't like the tf at all as I found it to be way too roomy for my skinny kids. I preferred the narrower MR and MA.

Laine is thin, but she's figured out to turn her head and rest her forehead against the side to sleep.

I could also put back in the headrest if it seemed she needed it.
