Any reviews on this for newborns and infants? Despite the weight ratings, is it really small enough to fit a newborn? (Also, I could have SWORN the display was both a boy and a girl print, but Graco doesn't even list a girl print available? We were at BRU, and I know it was the MyLife we were looking at)
Regarding the issues some have with harness tightening - is it THAT bad? I have this issue with our Radian, which I don't care for, is it worse than that? Any other concerns with the seat?
I didn't get a lot of time to play with the seat, but the stats at least seemed impressive. We've been debating skipping a bucket, but I worry about getting a convertible only to have a baby too small to fit when we leave the hospital!
Another option, if we skip a bucket, would be to put my 2.5YO into the MySize RFing, and use the Boulevard 70 for newbie, if I can find the infant padding. Toddler knows how to loosen his straps and slide out of them in the Boulevard, so maybe the MySize would be harder for him to get out of? Would a Boulevard fit a newborn? It seems so big even on those lower straps.
We do also have a Radian here, but we'll probably sell it. I am not a fan, which I found out the hard way!
Lastly... If we DO get a bucket (it would certainly be nice for a winter baby, and for those quick errands where baby is sleeping!), any reason not to go with a SnugRide 30? Or even the lower weight Snugride, since we'll be switching to a convertible eventually anyway? This is our last baby, so I'm not worried so much about the lifespan on the buckets, just fit and safety for the few months we'll be using one.
