She LOVED it! She went between saying she was a race car driver and it was a rocket blasting off. I have never said anything about a 5pt harness being like what a race car driver wears and she's never seen car racing, lol. Not sure where she picked it up. She kept listing all the things she could see: signs, traffic lights, cars, and houses. She adores the cupholders, too.
I love her FR85. Love it. It fits her so well and installed in dh's Ram super tight.
Top tethering is another story. O.M.G. The manual was wrong and I had to search c-s.org to find that out?! Seriously? Dh's Ram is an '09 crew cab. The manual says there is a metal ring to tether to. Do you KNOW how long I looked for it? How I practically scraped my knuckles bloody, sticking my hands behind the seat, trying to find said metal ring? Turns out I just needed to tether to the straps. Yeah, the ones in plain sight.
Then, there is routing the tether around the headrest through one of those straps to tether to the strap behind the outboard seat. (Follow that? ) Routing it that way with a regular tether probably wouldn't be such a chore, but with the Versa tether, it made it pretty hard to tighten.
May I just say again, though, what an awesome seat the Frontier 85 is? It fits my nearly 4yo beautifully and yet fits my 11yo in booster mode just as well!
I turned her in dh's truck 2 months and 1 day shy of her turning 4. She'll stay rfing in my van until she's 4 or 35lbs, whichever comes first. I'd be tempted to turn her in my van, but dd1 is using our other FR85 and I don't think I'll like the TFP as much ffing. The straps on the TFP are a bit too spread out for my taste on dd's narrow shoulders. Love the legroom, though.
Only bad thing in all this? I need to sell our MA...with my beloved Hannah cover. :crying:
