I just bought a... *kid pics added*

ProSport in Envy!!!! I went to the local store to try it out and they had a store wide 25% off sale. Of course our prices are higher here, so normal price was $310 but after the discount it was $233!

I'd only seen it online up until today and I thought it was green and gray and black, which seemed odd to me, so I was surprised when it was green and brown! I love the colors.

DD1 has some room in it uninstalled, I am super shocked!

Kid pics:

Scarlett (40", 30 lbs, 4y4m)

Growing room

Mali (44", 37lbs, 5y11.5m)

With padding insert

Without the padding insert

I was shocked at how short the straps are! She's a skinny toot, I can't imagine a heftier kid would fit in the harness

Second from top adjustment

I love the SIP

Top booster setting

I am not impressed with the booster mode, for my kid. She's too narrow for it, IMO. I don't plan on using it in booster mode anyhow--DD1 will use it until she's outgrown it, then DD2 will do the same, and I imagine by the time DD2 outgrows it (I'm guessing in at least a year) DS will be ready to FF.

Q didn't lose any room when I installed it.

Also, Judi, they sent the foam and Q says it is "nice". Guess he got used to the wonky LATCH placement. :thumbsup:

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe I will hold on to mine.

I need to swap out the CCO covers. It will look good with Key Lime

Ooo that's pretty! I bet the Key Lime will look great, but at the same time, the Cool Mint works really well, too. The Radian does such a good job of picking up the colors from both of them.

I usually don't care much about seats matching, but when fun colors are involved, I love it

Yeah I don't want it to be too matchy matchy! The ProSport and Flora were made for each other I think the CCO is their love child

We haven't taken it for a test drive yet but the button is right in the middle of her back:

No idea if it's going to bug her or not. It installs well with LATCH but the seatbelt gives us a smidge more room.

The button on the seat belt is usually pretty easy to pop off. Since the button is only a convience feature it wont affect the integrity of the seat belt itself. In my training course & a few checks we have removed the button to get a better install (usually with the base of an infant seat).

Oh I know, but I don't know if I want to do that I might just leave it as is and if she complains, switch it to LATCH. She's boostered in that spot now, and will be again once she outgrows the ProSport, and the button is kinda handy.

I like it better in the other pics. Maybe it's just the lighting in the three across...

So, um, I'm assuming that they allow tether use up to 65 lbs. in Canada then?

Yeah it's very shiny fabric and the light reflecting off the seat makes it look different, plus that one was taken with my phone, the other ones with my good camera.

Is Recaro in Canada? I'm not concerned about the weight limit on the tether since none of my kids will make it anywhere near the weight limit.
