MA, Como, Diplomat, SS2, Regent Pictures

Okay here are the pictures from our USA Baby adventure today. I wanted very badly to love the Como and I didn't. It's a great seat... but not for us. After the Regent the girl's just aren't going to tolerate anything more narrow. Even though they would have growing room... if we need a second set of seats we will have to go with Regents. I will be cancelling my Signo order.

The main purpose of wanting the Signo was for flying... a second set of seats that we could use pretty much full time (I drive 2 vehicle evenly and move the seats about once a week) and then fly with. We will simply have to drive instead of fly.. because my MIL's "oh we can rent carseats from the rental car company" isn't going to go over with me. Especially not since Ali is very close to the 40lbs mark of their seats and nowhere near ready for a booster. If we can't take the Regents then we simply won't fly.

I tried out the seats we had not yet tried.... we had to hurry to get back down here for dance and before the storm hit or I would have taken more in other seats. I also threw in Marathon and Regent pictures for comparison.

Patient, are you kidding?! They beg me to go to the carseat store! It's hilarious. It's not "Mom can we go to the park?" It's "Mom can we go to the carseat store??"

My children are indeed strange. Lol Ali as you can see was not really pleased with me cramming her into the Diplomat. Lol

Thanks guys. :)

nice photos! you're more patient than I am. plus, ds was only slightly willing. I had to bribe him with the promise of a sucker. I still only got a few shots in each seat and nothing close-up.

Very cool!
I think the SS2 is way taller than the Diplomat, though..you can see the top slot is there up under the padding and shoulder pads (Of course, it only goes to 40 pounds, which is a huge bummer!)

That Diplomat looks neat, for sure!

Great pics, and your girls are adorable! :)

I've wanted a SS2 for so long- it's such a dumb seat, FF only to 40lbs :thumbsdown:but I just love it, LOL! And I love that brown/pink combo :eek:

Great pics! What gorgeous models! That's too funny about them wanting to go to the car seat store--I thought my DD was the only weird one who is obsessed with car seats! I can't wait until we go visit my inlaws next week--they have a USA Baby right down the street from their house!

Oh, I know. It's so gorgeous. If Britax had a seat that cute I would be all over it. I loved the SS2 until I tried it in BRU.
