So Gavin and I headed out to BRU today to play with some seats, check out some strollers, and meet lorinick form here who just so happens to work at BRU.
It was great to meet another c-s.orger and Lori was so nice and helpful. Gavin on the other hand was being his little uncooperative toddler self.
First we tried out the Momentum. Gavin did like this seat and happily got right in and let me buckle him up without issues. I'm not sold on this seat though. I didn't think he had much more room above his head than he has in our MA's and if he did it wasn't a significant amount. I dislike the harness system, although I'm sure I could live with it. It did seem comfy and it did seem to have more leg room then in the MA's, but I still like the MA better.
Here are some pics of Gavin in the Momentum:
After this seat Gavin was done with car seats and flat out refused, in all his toddler glory, to get in the RN so we moved on to the strollers where he fell in love with the newest version of the Jeep Liberty stroller (sorry, no stroller pics). He didn't even want to get out of it. I put him in the BJCM for like a minute and all he wanted was out of that and back into the Jeep.
We walked around a bit and heading back for the car seats where I was able to persuade Gavin to try out the RN but it only lasted for a few seconds and then he wanted out! I'll start by saying I hate, hate, hate the harness adjuster on this seat (what a PITA!). Gavin did however have a ton of room above his head. If I happened upon a killer deal on an RN I would seriously consider it but it'd really have to be one heck of a deal.
Here are some pics of him in the RN:

Completely and totally done now:
And a pic of Lori:
I seriously wish I lived closer to BRU because I would so love to get a job there. I would be in my glory.
