I was walking around BBB tonight, playing with car seats.... I turned the corner and it was right THERE!
All I have are cell phone pics, but here they are:
Lowest position, with the Tinyfit insert in:
Highest headrest position, Tinyfit insert still in - it would not be used like this.
Here's the insert partially removed - the harness straps were fed through everything, and I didn't want to take it totally out and put back together.
Details of the insert. This thing is BIG! It's not like an infant insert we're used to seeing that's just cloth and padding, this has a hard structure with fabric over it. It really seems like a small seat within the seat. It has 3? harness slots, I want to say? The bottom one was QUITE low, it would fit small babies well.
My really scientific measuring of that top slot. I measured it with the box, and then measured the box itself on a growth chart I found in another aisle. I estimated it about 17in, so the reports look like they were right! You can see there's only one slot that slides up and down with the headrest.
I did identify at least one thing I REALLY don't like about the seat. The reclining base is interesting, but when I undid the harness straps to partially remove the Tinyfit insert, the splitter plate fell back in front of the base and it took me several minutes to maneuever it back. It was a SERIOUS PITB and not something I would want to fight with again. However, removing the harness straps only needs to be done when putting in/taking out the insert because the seat has a no-rethread harness, so there's that at least.
I also peeked at the FR85 SICT and noticed one thing that I liked:
Yes folks, they added a little piece of elastic to hold the dang crotch buckle cover onto the seat now! :thumbsup:
