By any chance does anyone have pics of a Foonf RF in a dodge grand caravan. Or know how would it fit RF in a captains chair in that vehicle?? My DS2 just turned two, is 23 pounds, 32 inches (so quite small). However his legs are getting cramped in his Advocate. He has low muscle tone, so I want something that has decent side supports (ie the Radian is not an option). I want something with good side impact protection as he is outboard.

It's pretty close up but hopefully it helps. It easily fits. I can take a new pic tomorrow if you need.

Yeah it fits very well in there. I guess my major problem was hauling my quite heavy child up into the seat though... For that reason I have an RXT in my van and the foonf is in our CRV.

Thank you! Lifting my son up into the seat is my biggest concern. He can't climb in by himself, so I would be lifting him up. Does the seat provide decent legroom?? I think that is my biggest issue with the Advocate.

What about a TrueFit? The 35lb RF max shouldn't affect you and it has awesome, like suuper awesome leg room, and sits far lower than the Foonf.

Ooooo that looks like a nice and comfy car seat! Might have to consider it for our next LO.
How did you find the install?

The install in the caravan is very easy. If you're able to load him in to his current seat ok, you shouldn't have difficulty loading him in to the Foonf. I helped a family with a Caravan recently who moved their child from a Britax in to a Foonf and they have found the Foonf easier all around.

Way more legroom than the advocate. I have both
My 3 1/2yr old who is about 38in tall barely has to bend her legs. Of course she sits criss cross applesauce anyways but the room is there.

Thank you. Those pictures are very helpful! I will have to check out the seat when I am at BBB this weekend. It will certainly give my little guy some more room. I love the bright pink, but there is no way I could get away with that for a boy. lol

Is the adjuster pretty easy?? The Britax has a very smooth adjustment, so I am quite spoiled by that.

If you're talking about the harness tightening then yes, it is just as easy as the Britax seats.
