Tell me about the True Fit P.

I think I'd like one, but...I know very little about them.

It'd be RF'ing for a 32-inch, 27-lb 18-month old.

Pros? Cons? Anything to be aware of?

christineka · Jul 27, 2011

It's a great seat. The two "cons" imo are the 35 pound rfing limit and that it's wide.

luvsviola · Jul 27, 2011

I love mine! It is wide, but I don't need 3 across. My 4 year old is not cramped in it and it had lots of leg room.

I love it and the kids do too. I do wish they would up the RF weight limit but by the time they do, I probably won't need it RF anymore! I love everything about it except that. Easy to install, still have lots of room for the driver or passenger, easy to remove and wash cover, comfy, and I could go on and on!

I didn't realize it only RF'ed to 35 lbs. That'd give me 6-7 lbs of use...hmmm...

My 30", 23lb 18-month-old fits in it with oodles of room to spare. But 4lbs lighter, and growing like one of her sisters, I am not too concerned about the 35lb limit just yet.

I'll be the lone dissenter here, I guess.

I do not love the seat. I honestly wish I'd just bought a Britax or a MyRide. I have a horrible time installing it in my van (captains chair in an Odyssey) - I don't know why, obviously I don't know all the "tricks" and DH can do it in seconds, so it's probably just me! I hate how hard it is to reach the harness adjuster.

I do love the easy off cover and no rethread harness for sure!

I would give you a great price on a gently used one but it's pink.

It's not my favorite

It's wide and comfy, but the continuous harness bugs me and the completely buried harness adjuster is a horrible design.

My DH isn't the most patient person, and I could totally see a loose, crooked harness thing happening with him putting DD in

I have a regular TF, but it's my favorite seat. There are times when the install can be a pain because of the lock-off location and the fact that they MUST be used for all installs, and the harness adjuster is a pain ( but I hear it's better on the Premier). I've used it RF for DS and now DD, and FF for DS.

It's one of those seats that's better to try before you buy and luckily now it's at brus so it's easier to find. The harness adjuster isn't as buried on the premiere. I love the no rethread harness, tall shell, and easy off cover. I really would like them to up the rfing limit on it, some don't need the 40lbs, but A hit 35lbs just before turning two and he had tons of room in it, I was sad we had to turn it so soon. It looks comfy, and ffing it has a nice recline, no headslump. I didn't have any install issues, it did take up more space than the myride, momentum, or blvd70 rfing. The harness is a little wide set, I didn't care for the fit on Tucker when I tried him out in recently, he's not as broadshouldered as Austin was. I guess it would depend on your lo's growth pattern, Austin was 27lbs at a year, 35lbs at two and now 42lbs at three, he could have made to at least 2.5 yrs if it had 40lb rfing limit.

I think I'm going to pass. Sigh. I don't keep seats forever, but I just can't get over *only* having 6-ish lbs of use.

Now I'm out of seats I "need" to have.

Hurry UP, Kiddy!
