Girl Print Graco Ultra Cargo or Platinum?

Unregistered · Aug 12, 2007

Hi! I am wondering if Graco has an Ultra Cargo or Platinum with a girl print? It would also be nice if it had the EPS foam, memory foam, and a front adjuster. Seat does not have to be rear facing, but it needs to have high harness slots since I have a lightweight. Other suggestions welcome.

Oh, I have the Britax Marathon. However, the center lap only belt does not fit under those LATCH bars when installed forward facing. Also, it would be nice to have a lighter weight seat since this one will be installed and taken out as needed. How bad would it be to take those bars off....other than it can never to be used for LATCH again.

I've been looking at the daisy print Scenera, but isn't the Cargo's highest shoulder slots still about 1 to 2" higher?

Thanks!

Not a Cargo, but the SafeSeat 2 is ffing only and comes in this girly print. http://www.gracobaby.com/catalog/product.aspx?modelNumber=8B01NTA2&CategoryID=1

I 'believe' it's top slots are comparable to a Cargo - but I am not positive!

Are you sure? Our car has a fairly large latch plate on the center lap-only belt, and it definitely doesn't fit under the Marathon's LATCH bar at the spot where the seatbelt has to sit when installed. However, I just let out some extra length on the belt, and can fiddle it under the bar at a slightly more spacious spot several inches away -- then, once the latch plate is under the bar on both sides, you shift the belt webbing back into proper position and tighten. I definitely wouldn't remove the LATCH bar, unless Britax specifically said it was OK in this situation -- the seat was tested with the bar in place, and it may contribute to the overall support of the plastic shell in some way (even though it doesn't seem to be used in a FF lap-belt-only install).

What Katrin said.
I had the same problem with my MA and my lapbelt, and solved it the same way!

Me too! I have a HUGE lap buckle in my Sunbird, and sliding the loose seatbelt forward a few inches works like a charm. You still have to manuever it around a little bit to get it in, but it works great! I wouldn't recommend removing the bars. If you ever did want them back, you never know how well they would reattach.:twocents: Just think, you take off the bars, then when the seat isn't in the car, you are in a ccident, and need a new car. New car has LATCH, what a pain in the butt to have to use a seatbelt now when the oh so easy LATCH is readily available. KWIM?

I agree with all PP. I wouldn't modify the seat in any way.

BTW that Safeseat2 sure is Purdy! Too bad it doesn't RF.....
