Sorry this is my one millionth post on this particular situation, but I just can't seem to make a decision. Here is the skinny: I need a FF seat for occasional use (a few times/month) in my Mom's Mini Cooper for my 3 year old daughter. She is 31ish pounds, has a 14" torso, and is 37" tall. She is RF outboard in an RXT in our car, which I am okay with, but the harness adjuster drives me nuts when RF (but is fine FF). Baby brother is in the center in a CCO and I want him to stay in that spot for as long as possible so I can sit with him when DH drives (brother is a car hater). I would like to buy a seat that isn't too expensive, that is easy for my mom to install, that will last us a while, and will give her some SIP for FF. Here is what I am thinking so far:
1. Get a pink MyRide to RF in our car and put the RXT in Nana's car. Switch the seats when she flips FF at 4 since the MR didn't fit well FF in our car, and hope it fits FF in the Mini since I won't be able to test it first.
2. Get a pink or purple Prosport for Nana's car and let Dahlia choose which seat she likes better when she is FF at 4, since both fit in either car.
3. Another option I haven't thought of yet?
I have tried an Argos and found the harness adjuster to be impossible. Same for the S4M. The Frontier was too wide for the spot I would need to put it in our car, and it seems like overkill to get a seat that big and fancy just to put in Nana's car. I also wasn't impressed with the seat in general. I couldn't fit a TFP FF in our car and my mom would never install it right thanks to the required lockoffs. Didn't like the SecureKid and we don't have a Walmart anywhere near us to get a Defender (though I would track one down if necessary).
I am tired of running this around in circles in my head. I need to decide soon.
Thanks!!!
