My toddler demanded her seat be RF again 
Apparently she decided it is more comfortable to cross her legs or dangle them over the sides than to balance her heels on the edge of the seat below when FF. {When she was RF last time she randomly refused to cross her legs or dangle them over the sides & her thighs were getting red creases from the straps, so I turned her FF again a couple weeks ago}.
I just re-weighed her & she's suddenly "plumped" up to an even 30 pounds now & using the tape measure she's still an even 40 inches. Since she was only 25 pounds for a long time until recently, I'm hoping the stays stable at 30 pounds for a while, too, so she can remain RF a bit longer. That is, if this RF/FF switch thing doesn't become a kind of game to her!?
I managed to get the seat installed a little bit crooked so that she can climb in herself after I take off her boots.... More than 80% of the seat is on the cushion, but I decided not to use the seat lock-offs & only used my retractable locking belt along with the top tether anchored under the seat ~ it doesn't move at all. So far she doesn't seem to mind the slant & I think she has more leg room this way than when I had it RF before.
I got some pictures of her back in RF & all ready for the cold weather {since our only other car seat pics are from summer}, but they aren't digital nor are they developed yet ... oh this just made my day, LOL!
