It would be for both rfing and ffing. Do you think its even worth getting for rfing? To me she looks like shes almost outgrown it rfing... Im terrible about estimating how long she has left though. The angle of the pic is terrible too, our wm now ties the seats down to the shelves :thumbsdown:

You also usually gain room with installing the MR. I'm guessing if it was installed, and she was all buckled up and settled in, she'd have a couple of inches. I 
the MR, it's deffinately on of my favorite rfing seats, but I also like it forward just because of how comfy it looks, it's really good for sleeping.

A few actually... Lol. Not sure why I get rid of them as its one of my favorite seats ever! I think my OCD about having stuff laying around the house gets the best of me
I also get paranoid about her outgrowing things ridiculously fast. I've been eyeing the s4m but it's a little out of my price range, wider at the base (I need to 3 across in a sedan w/ 2 hbb's) and members are saying it will likely not work well with angled headrests, which I have 3 non adjustable/removable ones.
Maybe I just need confirmation it's okay to buy something I do not need at all... It's okay to purchase seats simply because they are cute, comfy and have 2 cup holders.... Right??

See, I'm the opposite- I hang onto crap because I'm afraid I'll regret getting rid of it! Lol. I have my BJCE up for sale and if I think about it too much I start to feel sick. I need to remind myself that it's replaceable!
That's a bummer on the headrests, but you could always just use it for RF then buy something else later. Ugh. Never mind- you need something narrower, duh.
If you love the MR, then do it

The My Ride is a tricky seat. I remember this from when it first came out. Sit the child in the seat in store all you want, but it won't help. Kids gain room when the seat is installed and they are buckled into it. I believe we even found that being installed in a real car vs a BRU test bench made a difference.

She's such a cutie! I think you've got a good amount of time -- probably a couple of years in each direction. Maybe two RF and two-three FF, unless she's a lightening-fast grower? By then your middle kids should easily be in backlesses full-time (maybe even seatbelt only for your second, can't recall how old they are anymore? 5 and 6? 6 and 7?) and you can trade the MR out for the Frontier or another combo seat. I would totally buy it, the MR is my favorite RF seat though, so that colors my opinion some lol.
The MR is such a phantom seat, since it always gains room in the car AND it always tends to look like it has less room than the tape measure says. I think some of it is the white piping, my eyes want to make it the 1" line and it's just not!

the myride is always a bit misleading when eyeballing the amount of room left. I panicked and bought DS a new seat thinking "omg he is almost at 1" of shell!" but actually a few months later, he actually had 2.5" left... I sat him in the seat the other day and at almost 4 he could still fit in that seat. darnit!
he actually has asked for his "comfy seat" back a few times. it's his all time favorite seat. the only reason I don't have him in it is because it's easier to climb into the radian although when he turns FF he's going back in the myride because he has a large head and gets head slump.
your DD looks adorable and I totally think that cupholders and covers is a totally reasonable excuse
