I've been sort of in love with this seat since I saw the first pics of it, but at the same time, hoping that I could find something about it to hate because I just have no justification to get one. My only harnessed kid has a rnxt, cco, rn80, and a tf, for two cars.
We (me, quassee, mistybug, and amelia222) got to check it out today, and all the things I thought might be dealbreakers just....aren't. The primary concern I had, was how high up it sits RF, since the only place DD3 can be is in the 2nd row centre. We brought it out to my van and it wasn't even an issue. It didn't block my view at all, and was at most, 2" higher than my RNXT with the angle adjuster. Somehow it seemed way worse in the pics I've seen here than it actually was IRL, at least in my van. Then I thought it might be too wide, because even though the stated width is 17", it just looks wider than the RN, even side by side. Its not. In fact, it puzzled better with my current setup than the RN, and it was way easier to buckle DS2's turbo booster than it currently is. Right now I have to scoot his seat towards the door, buckle, and scoot him back. But because of the shape of the foonf base, I could just reach under the booster arm to buckle. I was initially bummed about only being able to use the arb in the most reclined position, but since it can be rf tethered, that's a non-issue as well.
I just can't find a reason not to love this seat. The REACT technology seems super awesome, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the crash test numbers (which they are going to release). Chris was super nice, and patient with all of my weird questions. Bottom line, I'm sold. Heart Shades foonf here we come. Might as well go for it since #5 is the last for us.
