Well, my husband and I decided that the difficult adjuster strap was a deal-breaker on the TrueFit. It turned out to be a good thing, though!
I tried the NextFit (again), the Peg PVC, and the RForever at BRU yesterday. After my first round with the NF and others, I realized I could make my rear-view mirror higher, allowing me to see over seats better, so more seats work now. The RForever fit, but blocked too much of my blind spot. The NF didn't block it a bit! It also had the easiest harness adjuster.
So the NF is the winner so far, but the G4 Roundabout is interesting to me, too. It is made in the US, I can get an ARB, no flame retardants, fairly inexpensive, etc. I know it won't last as long, but it would last at least a couple years RF. By then maybe there will be something else as nice as the NF but made in the US, has ARB, etc.
So, does the RA have the super short crotch strap like the CT seats? Is the recline likely to be on the deep side on fairly flat seats? Is the belt fit with the infant pillow the same as the G4 Blvd? (V will likely not hit 22 lbs until at least 15 months, she is 17 lbs at 10 months.) I would be installing it with a lap/shoulder belt in the center.
Any feedback is appreciated!
