Is it a 9 year expiration on the entire seat, including the harness?
This is a DOM 2/2013 if that matters. I'm trying to figure out what to get to replace a different expiring seat and am charting out the next few years of kids and seats. I had never thought about this FR before, since it isn't close to expiring, and I did buy it in an emergency situation solely for the highest harness at the time, so maybe I never knew the details in the first place, but...
I thought it was 6 years for the harness and 9 years on the booster. Was that the nautilus I was thinking of? Or did I just make that up?? I happened upon a post saying the FR85 is 9 years so I started searching here, then checked the manual and all I can find is a tiny bit about 9 years. So it looks like 9 all around, but I need confirmation to be sure I'm reading it right. I am recovering from acute blood loss/surgery/transfusions and literally have limited thinking ability at the moment, so I need a second opinion on this. Or fact really.
Also, if the answer above is yes, 9 years, this part doesn't matter, but...
I think I also made up some other numbers. I know at the time I bought it, I chose the 85 for the higher booster height (in preparation for a headrest-less van) over the 90, foregoing the added harness height of the 90. Now the numbers I'm seeing look like the 90 booster is only a smidge shorter than the 85 booster, is that correct? I thought the difference was more. Also, I thought the harness height difference wasn't much, then recently I thought I was told it was a 2" difference, and now I'm seeing it's either 1/2" or 1".
And then there's a new one out...I don't need any easier installs, just highest height limits. Better safety technology is great too, but still has to be tallest.
