Lately, my DS (he'll be 3 in April-rf in a BV) had been complaining about his legs hurting and pushing his legs against the vehicle seat back and fussing, etc. My DH (who is totally on board w/ERF) said that DS's legs really seem to have gotten longer in the past 2 months or so and that if he's going to be miserable and his legs are bothering him, we really should turn hin FF. I noticed that his pants are all too short, so I agree that he's had a leg-growth-spurt. I was wondering if I can install the BV further away from the vehicle seat back, and then use the RF tether to stabilize it- so the LATCH straps will be much longer since the seat is further away from the anchors, but I'll provide some counter-traction w/the tether and snug the seat that way, make sense? If not, I'm thinking that we're going to have to turn him FF before he's 3, and I had my heart set on keeping him RF until then, at least. He's 28lbs fully dressed with shoes.
So, can I install the seat as described above to give him more legroom? I've seen Sweedish seats I think installed the way I want to do mine- but I'm not sure my seat was designed to be safe installed that way.
