Does any one use the new gen. Britax seats in a ffing position?

Care to share pictures??

Does anyone know how wide the base portion is including the metal latch bars?

The bars are actually above the base. Your buckles should be below those bars. They're at least a few inches up.

I have one FFing, but no kid to put in it right now. It fits next to DD's parkway with room to spare and the FR won't. Does that help?

I can take a pic if you like.

Picture would be wonderful!! And one from the side showing how much higher it sits up in comparison the booster would be helpful too!!

You got it.

The Britax convertible seats work best right there, and trust me, I have tried a LOT. It's being on the narrower base that helps.

ETA: Pics!!!

Side of the BLVD

Next to the PW

They puzzle nicely

More puzzling - the sides nest perfectly

Space to buckle under the flares of the BLVD

Shanna you COMPLETELY ROCK!!! Im going to try a Amp hbb booster as soon as I can and if it doesnt fit my next try will be a MA70 and 2 PW's. I just need to get a hold of Britax because the PW does not sit flat against my vehicle seat because of the fixed headrests

Also is it pretty easy to buckle the belt on the PW? Can your dd do it herself? The Brus around here carries the Britax convertibles but not the PWs :thumbsdown: So I cannot try them out together. Im afraid Im going to be smacking dds head on the roof of the car every time I put her in or take her out.

She can, but it's tough. I usually do it because it's faster for me to slide her seat over a little, reach in and buckle, and slide her back.

I'm impatient like that and am working on getting in shape for fire academy so it's probably easier for me to toss her around than most moms. YMMV. :ROTFLMAO:

No problem. I've been through it with trying to get something to fit. I know how much pictures helped me.

I had a literider/ff bv70/amp backless in a very tight 3 across for awhile. The amp was easier to buckle than the literider and I suspect the hb would fit too. I think I had 47-48" to work with.
