I have until June 9th to decide on this, so all comments (except truly nasty ones ) are welcome. Until that date, there is free shipping on 2 or more Baby items through Target.com.
With the advent of the new Britax Regent cover & the fact we might be either doing a lot of long distance driving or getting stationed overseas again in 10 months, I am seriously considering purchasing a Regent. BUT before I do, I want to try one out and see what it is like in real life. How does it fit my car?, does my daughter like it?, can I install the bloody thing?, can I see past the head area in the rear center spot? -- you know -- the really need to know questions
The nearest Toys R Us is 190 miles due east and I don't know if it carries the item. I'd call, but it's a very long boring & gas guzzling drive, so the only practical way I'd be able to check it out would be to order it online. I'm considering ordering it through Target and returning it after I test it all out within a day or 2. I dislike the old covers and I think even the Blue Bonnet one won't breathe enough for hot TX. Then when the new Recaro comes out, I'll have some sort of idea which one will suit my needs better.
So what do you think? Am I certifiable?
I was suprised. I thought trying to find the second Baby item would be difficult, but I need refills anyway for our Diaper Driek. So at least one item won't be returned :shrug-shoulders:
The one question I do have -- how high is the weight limit of a child before a Regent is required to have a top tether used -- and what age might that be around given that my dd is a shade under 37lbs at over 3 1/2 years old?
TIA
