I have been trying to come up with a solution for my situation.
We spend 5 weeks in Brazil every year. Seatbelts there don't lock. I isntall and uninstall dd's seat several times a day, different cars. The first year I took a scenera and had to use the locking clip every single time. I wanted to poke myself in the eye. This year I was not gonna to that again so I borrowed my friends MA65 and having the lock offs was just awesome. I ended up keeping her seat but it expires next year. So I will need a new seat with lock offs. DD will be 3 1/2 when we go again. I was thinking maybe taking the TF and leaving it there and just using the Cares on the way back. I don't want to travel back and forth with it and buying a lighter travel seat would mean buying a maestro and having to use the locking clip again. Plus I could still possibly RF her next year (cars there are very small, not sure the TF would fit rf) The TF doesn't get used here at all, I was actually selling it but then I would either have to get a nautilus elite or frontier for the lock offs and I have no need for those here (have plenty on seats) . So if I take the TF and leave it there, do you all think it would take her to a booster age and then I don't have to worry about a FF only seat with lock offs? it doesn't expire till 2017, so she will be old enough for a booster before that. Stats in my siggy. Her torso is 12.5 inches. Here is the only photo I have of her in the TF (ignore the naked MA, the cover was in the wash)
