Which of them would last longest ff between the ETA, Momentum and the Symphony. Any personal experience?

I would have already bought the Momentum if anyone had it around here. But looking at the spreadsheet, I think it has the lowest top slots of the 3. The ETA is narrower, which is usually a plus. I'm thinking the top slots is my priority.

When I was shopping for DD, the Momentum had more room for her rfing, but the EFT65 and S65 had more room ffing. I know these things sometimes change depending upon the vehicle, but I HTH.

Harness wise or height wise? I'm not as worried about overall height as harness height.

Sorry. Yes, harness height. Well, rfing, the M65 had more shell overhead than the other two. Ffing, the EFT65 and S65 had more harness height left than the M65. Is that what you needed?

Thanks. Yes. I've been trying to find a Momentum to try and then looking at the spread sheet it seemed the other 2 had a little more harness height. Maybe I'll just get the ETA. It's cheaper and a bit less bulky. I really did want Sure Latch and the ETA doesn't even have alligator type latches, correct?

I can't remember about the LATCH connectors. I was trying it in a position without LATCH.

The symphony can only be used in bottom 2 settings when rf, so it is outgrown sooner then the triumph and momentum rf.

Good to know. Maybe I should look at their website and see which model has it. I'd like to buy local. It keeps dh in the dark when it's not on the credit card, if you kwim!

That I didn't realize. Thanks. Good to know. I'm not set on using it for rear facing, but I might. Especially later. There's bound to be littles in my future.

The Symphony is a nice seat but it will be outgrown in any direction before the other two. The harness FF is usually outgrown before the kid is ready fot the booster mode, so if you are looking for a long lasting seat I would go would the other two.

Nope, it's all black velour with black leather on the sides.

If you are not rf him, I would recommend a combination (ff only) seat. No reason to pay for the rf feature if you are not using it.

Yeah, I have lots of seats to ff him in. I just feel sorry for him that he can't see out the window. His eyes are about level with the bottom of it. I'm looking for something that sits up higher. The GN wasn't any better than the SK400. None of the other combo seats seem any higher.

I'm so mad. I should have ordered that last nite when it was 121 something. Now it's back up to 160 something. It's 128 at walmart but not in stock.
