They aren't great photos. I didn't have much time. Ds and I ran to USA Baby while dh had a lunch meeting. Plus, I'm no good at ignoring the employees standing impatiently behind me while I play with installs. Don't look too closely at the LATCH straps.
ds's stats:
33 mos
25 lbs
36"
unwilling model
2001 Subaru Outback
My thoughts:
-The head wings weren't tight, but seemed like they might be bothersome (yes, I know they're optional).
-I liked the buckle pad. It was just large enough to be effective and I liked how it was attached to the seat- no taking the time to get it into position that way.
-I also like the shoulder pads that are long enough to be effective and slightly grippy to stay in place.
-It didn't take up any more room front to back that the MA, but the deep sides make a big difference.
-it was a tight squeeze for ds to climb in rf. I wouldn't want to do that every trip.
-I had to twist the buckle strap twice to get a good fit with the seatbelt, but that's probably more Subaru's fault.
-I don't like the ambiguous rf height limit. the stickers and manual clearly state 34", but the diagram only mentions the head within 1" of the top of the shell (which I think should be the one to follow).
Lastly, is this plastic piece on correctly (I'm guessing yes) and what are the slots on the bottom of it? just vents?
