Still trying to decide on a seat for travel.
I have a large 3 year old, needs a seat with a higher weight limit than 40lbs.
Someone recommended the Sureride65, but it's width (18.5"?) is technically wider than the airplane seat (A320, coach is 17.8" Wide).
I continued searching and found the Guide65, has the weight limit I need and is 17" in width, and I believe I even read that the seat tray will be usable with this seat on the airplane, which is a plus.
It's also lightweight-ish and inexpensive-ish, so that's great. However, my concern is how easy - or how NOT easy - it is to install. I would be using it forward facing because my child is 3 years old, about 39lbs and 40" tall, and although we normally rear-face in the Foonf I figured for travel it will be okay to forward-face (I hope it doesn't ruin him for rear-facing once he experiences it the other way around!)
SOOO....are there any known issues with the Guide65? Tips for installing it? Has anyone successfully installed it forward-facing on an A320?
I'm concerned because I read somewhere that someone had difficulty with it, but I believe they were talking about rear-facing.
