I bought a Preston myride before DD was born when they went on sale at Target. I couldn't pass up $100 for a highly recommended seat! We've been using a KF 30 so far, but we want to transition her to a convertible (she'll be 5 months on Thursday). Here is the seat I have:
The problem is, I tried her in the seat a few days ago, and I don't think it's going to work (at least for now). If I leave the head padding in, her head is squished. If I take it out, it seems like she's swimming in the seat. The same thing happens with the support cushion under her body. Her hips are squished if it's in, but if I take it out, the crotch strap is way too far from her body and the fit is not good.
Is this a common problem? I know the original myrides had completely different infant padding (and now I'm kind of regretting not going with one of those). But has anyone been able to make a Preston/Resa myride work for an infant? I know I could put a rolled up washcloth or something between her and the crotch strap, but I'd rather not fool around with that every time I have to put her in the car, KWIM? Is there any hope for me using the seat right now, or should I just store it until she's a little older? Thanks!
