It could be awesome for their car though. Just saying. It was great in my Prius - Sure latch, not the Symphony. It went in there very nicely and was easy without latch too.
Yeah, the Securekid went in fairly easily, but it doesn't have a no-re thread harness, which is why I was looking at the Symphony -- plus, we are currently in the market for a RF seat, so I figured we could get use out of all modes if we got it now.
I think that the Securekid works better because it has those little plates to push the Surelatch connectors in at the right angle. The problem with the Securekid is that it pushed her head forward and I have read that some kids find that really uncomfortable. That and the fact that it doesn't have a no-retread harness. At the point when my DD1 is FF, I think my in-laws will probably only be transporting her occasionally and so I don't want them to suddenly have to pick her up unexpectedly AND realize that they need to change the harness in a school pick-up line or something.
But maybe she won't grow fast enough that that would be an issue...
In any case, if the Symphony doesn't fit the bill, then I'm not going to worry about the FF/Booster stage yet. My experience is that -- aside from RF space being tighter in the Forester and the leather seats in the outback being a pain -- the Forester and Outback installs are comparable. So for now I will just focus on finding good RF seats that work in all cars.
