If I didn't like the original FR, do I have any hope of liking the FR85? I can't really pinpoint what I didn't like about the FR but I didn't feel the love when I bought one for DS1 four years ago. It was incompatible with DH's truck but we don't have that vehicle anymore so that's a moot point. It worked in my car but I preferred the GN and ended up selling the FR.
I'm now in the market to buy a combination seat for DS2 and think I'd still prefer the GN but am considering the FR85 mainly because it would give us the option of using is as a hbb for DS1 on the rare occasion we take long trips. He'll be 8 in a few weeks and doesn't have much growing room left in the hbbs we have for him (Vivo, ProBooster & Monterey). I'm coming to terms with him using a nbb for daily use but would like to have the option of a hbb for longer trips.
Aside from the increased weight and height limits, what has changed from the FR to the FR85?
