I just boxed up and sent my keyfit packing. For the time being dd1 is in my old graco cargo and dd2 is in the marathon rfing.
As I was installing the seats, I was complaining to myself about the flimsy feel of the graco and lack of padding, but figured it'd work for the moment. I thought I'd have more time with the keyfit but the buyer needed it.
We went to swimming lessons tonight and dd1 was saying how comfy her new seat was - the cargo. I didn't ask anything - she just said. I asked her what was comfy about it and she said it doesn't squish her privates I asked if her cow seat did and she said yes that it is too tight. The crotch strap on the cargo is much longer than the ma, but she is tight in both seats.
I had it all figured out. I was going to buy another marathon for baby and let her rf as long as possible. She may not be able to do that in my current ma before it expires.
So now what??
Try a true fit?? Says it has an adjustable crotch strap? Then baby could use it as a rf seat if needed when the ma expires.
Buy a regent - I couldn't get a good install sbp in her seat with my husky. The buckle is too rigid and forward of the bight. I tried and tried and tried. It does work in the 3rd row though so I could potentially move her when she meets the latch limits. I prefer the girls in the 2nd row and the boys in the back, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.
Keep her in the cargo until this new mystery britax seat or two appear. It doesn't expire until 12/09 but has no eps foam or anything and seems so flimsy and hard. But she does like it
I really do appreciate your input even though I am sure you are sick of me trying to ponder through all this. Thanks
