I bought the EFTA(pics)

momof2kiddos · Dec 29, 2007

I bought this seat to replace my decathlon because I was getting tired of the adjuster,so now the decathlon will be our back up seat.

I LOVE the EFTA.The harness adjuster rocks!!

I love how much leg support DS has,and how roomy it is,plus the chest clip is not easy for ds to unbcukle and at his age that is a HUGE plus

It is a awesome seat,I like it a lot better then my decathlon.Here are some pics,Sorry no face Pics of my Cutie Wootie,but I don't want then stolen

Not saying any of you would do it but I know this forum pops up on google so that is a bit much for me.

He has Tons of room left

A lot of leg support

So Roomy

ETA:The install was very easy to do!!

It looks fabulous!

Some side-by-side comparisons of him in the DC would be nice (to show how much MORE roomy the EFTA is than the DC, etc.). No rush on those, though!

Great Idea!I will try to get those up within the next few days.I am too lazy too go unistall the EFTA right now

I so totally would have gone for the EFTA for H if it had been available when she outgrew her Cosco Alpha Omega by height at 2.5 years old, 38 inches tall and 35 pounds. We agonized over what to choose, either a Marathon or a Husky (Regent), because options were slim 4 years ago...but the EFTA would have lasted her a bit longer than a Marathon, I believe, and would have been more roomy for my big girl, and would have saved us a bundle! I don't mind not having a RF tether, personally, so the 35 pound RF weight limit+tall seat shell+tall top slots+roomy seat+more seat depth+50 pound weight limit+lower price tag make this seat a winner in my opinion.

Thanks for posting the pics. They are helpful. I've seen this seat IRL but didn't love the harness adjuster. I had an uncooperative kiddo with me that day, though, and didn't get to actually try her in the seat so that could make a difference. The comparison to the DC would be awesome and one other Q - I'd love to know his torso height or overall height. He's about the same weight as my youngest and it looks like he fits really well in the seat.

I actually have no idea what his torso height is,I don't own a tape measure

,I really need to buy one though.His overall height though is 37 inches,and he is 34.5 pounds.

The more I see this seat, the more I am tempted to buy it

I 'could' put my 6 yo in the ma and 3 yo in the efta, but that would only last a few months I think. 6 yo is w/i an inch from the top slot of the ma.

Thanks for the pics.

Thank you! I'll have to take DD when she's in a good mood and get her to sit in it so I can really play with it. She's a little taller than him (and older too) but I think she'd have room.

We are taking a 4 hr trip to visit relatives today and DD was SO excited when I told her we were going in Daddy's car- she LOVES her EFTA so much. Unfortunately, she'll probably only get to age 5-ish in it , but I plan on giving it to my BF whose little 3 yr old can use it. Glad your kids like it, too. Sorry about the DC- maybe you could sell it on Ebay? My DD would have outgrown it by now- height and width, seat depth, etc.

I still like the DC

But for me with two kids under 3 and Dh working a lot(military) I just don't have time to take him out of his seat and try to adjust his harness,with my dd screaming because she wants me to hold her not put her in her seat

Plus he didn't not have a lot of shoulder room in the DC,nor in the marathon,because he is broad shouldered.So for us the EFTA fits our needs more then the DC.

Plus the adjuster is just so smooth and easy to use.

I am defaintly keeping the seat though because you never know when you will need a extra
