So I finally got to play with the Chicco Nextfit today, I was sure it was my dream seat...but it isn't. :crying:
The biggest problem is that the RF belt path cuts right across where the crotch buckle comes out so regardless of which position the buckle is in, the seatbelt would interfere with it. I've had this problem with the evenflo tribute as well, but didn't expect it with a higher end seat like this. :scratcheshead:
My van seats are very slanted (Dodge Grand Caravan) so I could only use one position FFing and two RFing. I would really hesitate to actually use it with a newborn RFing because it was still very upright. Not a big deal for us because we don't intend to use it for a newborn, but still...I was so excited about all of the different positions and hoping that this would be great for our slanted seats. Le sigh...
Is it just me that thinks the fabric on the cover is destined to be snaggy and show every little spot? Also, the white piping on the gemini (purple) cover looks like it would crack and fall apart. I couldn't even figure out how the cover comes off for cleaning.
DS was not a fan of the very stiff strap covers and they were puzzling to me too. The cupholder is too small to hold DS's favorite cup. I could go on and on about all of the things that I thought I would love and how sad I am that I don't. Boohoohoo.
