The Foonf, DS2, and a 2011 Odyssey.

tl01 · Feb 17, 2012

I won't rehash all the stuff everyone already knows about the Foonf, I just wanted to post the pics of DS2 in the seat and the seat in my 2011 ody.

DS2 checking over the seat. He is 21 months and about 27 lbs.

Making himself comfy.

Politely begging Chris for a Foonf to call his own.

In the center rear facing. The captain's seat slides forward for access to the back with the vehicle seats in wide mode. I'm not sure about that in the narrow mode.

Captain's chair with least amount of recline. The front seat is in the spot where the radian touches with the angle adjuster.

Most recline. We didn't have the arb but imagine the seat out another inch or so.

We put it center forward facing too but I don't have a pic.

Chris was awesome and answered all my boring questions and was patient with letting us put the seat in the car despite being super busy!

Where's the pic of your DS in the seat when it's installed in your van? I'm dying to see what kids look like in the seat in the car.

We didn't have as much time to play with the seat as we would have liked

. Chris is a busy man and we were already monopolizing his time with the store employees. I wish we had been able to put DS2 in the seat in the car!

The seat looks SO tiny with your LO in it. I can't imagine a 4 or 5yr old in that based on his size now!

The headrest goes up a lot but the seat is pretty narrow... A pro and con.

DS2 is pretty skinny.. About 75-80% for height and 50% for weight and he has a long torso. He's on the 3rd slot of the radian rfing.

Why did I type THAT??? I meant DS1.

By contrast, this is my almost 5 y.o. In the new Peg Perego in store in recline mode.

He had plenty of room and said it was comfy. He wasn't even on the highest headrest setting!

I have been throwing around the foonf in my mind because of the upright install and tether, but yikes your son does look snug in there and he is still so young!

Great looking seat, the price will keep it off my list but fun to look at anyway

I would have liked DS1 in it too... But he was at school. I had a hard time justifying taking him out of school on his favorite day of the week

. Honestly, I think it would be too narrow for him. I think it is more narrow than the radian. I can post a pic of DS2 in the radian for width sake.

DS1 is pretty big nowadays. He basically outgrown the radian. He's 56 lbs without clothes so he'd be pushing it in the foonf. I think he's about 48 inches tall.

5yo DS, 46 inches tall, 40lbs. I don't know his torso height

He really liked it. I thought he looked squished, but he said he wasn't. He was more interested in telling Chris and Tara about his game he plays online

I wish we could have gotten more pictures, but Chris was super pressed for time

oops, double post

I still hate the way the fabric looks!

I wasn't sure about the fabric until I felt it. Seems like a great fabric choice to me. I think it will be cool in the summer and it is comfy too.

My DS1 is definitely bigger across his chest. Thanks for posting the pics

.

Btw... I think I need the link for the online game for DS1

Anyone know if this is the same type of fabric as on the oobr? I thought the fabric looked a mess til I got my hands on an oobr and I actually like it a lot.

Me wants a pink foonf :wub:

Ooooh. Yeah it is definitely nicer in person. Very smooth. The green doesn't help the look of it though lol
