OMG...it was AWFUL! :thumbsdown:
The super short LATCH strap and deep set anchors with very firm foam coming down over them made for a LOT of sweating and (under my breath) swearing. Can't be a two person job, because only one hand can fit in the belt path at a time. Can't move the base away from the vehicle seat back because the LATCH strap is so short. Ugh!
Once it was in it was solid, though. And the recline mechanism on the base is so nice.
But the poor dad was so disappointed to realize this wasn't what he'd envisioned, being able to remove the seat and put it in another base in another vehicle. It was SO heavy and hard to maneuver in and out of his vehicle.
Had to go with what he had, though. He'd thrown away the box, and at the time I was helping him install he was receiving updates from the mom who was at the hospital admitted for an elevated BP, several weeks prior to her due date.
