Pics from BRU yesterday :)

DH treated me to a surprise trip to BRU yesterday to play with seats :love:

Mali is 30 months, 26 pounds, 37" tall, 14.5" torso
Recaro Como: she LOVED the seat. We took out the infant padding and head bolster and she kept saying "Mali seat! I love this seat mama"

She has boatloads of room--FF she'd be on the 3rd from top slots, RF on the 4th from top. She also has tons of shell above her head :thumbsup:

The sides didn't bother her at all-she just pulled her head forward to 'cheese' for the pic.

Maxi-Cosi Cabrio. She is tall and skinny, yet her shoulders were wedged in there. She hated it (notice how I have to hold her in the seat :rolleyes:). She has about half an inch of room FF in this seat.

Ahhhh, the Crappysport...my finger is where the top slot is. She is about 3" above it. She outgrew this seat RF at 18 months, and FF by her 2nd birthday :thumbsdown:

The Regent: she has ages in this seat, obviously. :thumbsup:

She is just a hair above the 3rd-from-top slots. She probably would 'settle' and be even with/below them.

Evenflo Triumph Advance. She has about 2" of growing room in this seat.

And just for fun, my 10 mo in her favorite seat. She loves this thing.

So, final verdict, after months of wavering.....we're getting DD1 a Signo in Blush, and DD2 her beloved Pepto-pink Boulevard.

Cool - thanks for the pics. When are you getting your new seats? I'm working on getting some new ones too.:)

Anna, you won't have them by this month's clinic, huh? Maybe Feb? Your oldest is a lot like H was when she was little. String bean and outgrew seats at alarming rates. The Comfort Sport was outgrown at 2 years for her too. Now look at her;)

Joni, probably not. Definitely by Feb though! Yeah, the thought of Mali growing out of the Regent before six like H scares me! Hopefully by then there is a taller seat on the market.

In the car she has more room that on the floor of the house. I took it out yesterday and sat her in it and on the floor of the car--NO JOKE--she has 1/2 inch left. Keep in mind she doesn't turn 6 until March. She's wearing size 7 jeans and 10-12 shirts to hide her crack since she has no rear to keep her jeans up. She's got a long torso. She's not a very car seat friendly child. My niece on the other hand, at 3 years old is only 24 lbs, can still easily fit rf in the FPSVD and when ff (because my sis won't turn her) she's about 1 inch below the 3rd slot.

The Regent was "installed" on the BRU bench, but I'm sure it would be different in a real car, since thier bench has very little of an angle to it. I'm hoping DD1 starts gaining weight instead of height, since she's going through another growth spurt right now!


Oh, and, this is my ONE THOUSANDTH post!!!!!

Awesome pics, and I'm so excited for you about your (uh, your girls' :eek: ) new seats! :love:

I wish the Signo had been around when H outgrew her 3-in-1 by height at 38 inches. We went with a Husky (Regent) because she didn't seem to have enough growing room in a Marathon (maybe 2 inches to top slots, head peeking over top of shell already). But the Signo looks awesome.

I just have to say that I absolutely :love: your dd's tights. Great pic's! I am glad you were able to find seats that both girls will like. Your vehicle is definitely going to be very umm Pink LOL! I am dying to get a blush signo, but now am thinking a Graco Nautilus is in our future. Ahh decisions, decisions.

Awww, look at that last photo! I hadn't seen that cover before. It is obnoxiously pink! Piper would go for that one in a heartbeat.

Those comparison pictures are great, thanks!

I love their clothes! And they're looking beautiful as always. I think DD would go nuts if she saw that pink BV. I'll make sure she never does! (...bwah hah hah) I did have a dream I bought DS a Shannon BV during the February sale though. :whistle: Don't tell DH LOL. Congratulations on finding new seats and the 1000 posts :thumbsup:

LOL! Thanks :) Mali actually hates the Meagan, she says "eew yucky pink!" But Scarlett's little legs start kicking and she starts squealing when she sees it, and she doesn't want to get out!
