(sorry, geeky Dune reference there, couldn't help it. )
Ironically, the UPS dude arrived while my garage was open and I was perched on my folded rear seats installing the top tether rigamarole in the Camry. Egads, it's hot! I was sweltering. I just checked the weather -- it IS 98 degrees in the shade!
It's the Sahara style. I thought -- ooh nice, as I felt the top suade border, then --Ewww, when that funky nylon inner area appeared. I ended up taking it inside to read the manual, play with the recline bar, and scare the cat with the huge monster.
DD saw the seat and started asking questions. She thought it was BOOTIFUL -- until she felt that inner material. She couldnt' get away from it fast enough. I explained that Mommy was trying it out to see how it fit and if we like it enough, then this:
will appear someday. Now she's REALLY IN LOVE
As I was reading the very short manual -- The perpetual question of the universe again reared its ugly head.
Why do they always start with the installation procedures and not how to adjust the harnesses?
DD eagerly came over and allowed herself to be sized. She's soo tall in her M-C and SO TINY in this thing. She's still under the 2nd to the bottom slots. She admitted it was "OK", but wouldn't allow herself to be buckled in. That's only reserved for REAL Trips!
Even though I now have a top tether hook, I went ahead and installed it Long belt with the recline bar in rear center spot. That thing (recline bar) really ticked me off. I have pinched fingers and bruised hands from pressing it into the poorly fitted slot ... OUCH! Then to get it all the way pressed up against the back seat. It wasn't too bad to get the connection really tight though. Only 15 minutes of wrestling with the belt and balancing everything out. I'll test it again in the morning as everything gets used to it in the car.
I'll take photos in the morning. I tried to sit in the outboard seats and unless I was exactly half of me, there's no way the door will close. I'd have to move it outboard before anyone around here would sit back there. I'll drive around with it for the day and play some more with seeing how it fits in the outboard seats before I box it up & get a return slip.
There's just no way either of us could handle that slippery nyony material esp. in the TX heat. :thumbsdown:
I'm thinking that the Madison is regular cotton/poly and pretty smooth? It looks it from the images.
It was fun playing with it -- only if it weren't so danged hot! I'm exhausted :crying:
