So we got an EFTA...

Yup, after posting on here for suggestions for our 28 lb DFS, I got an EFTA from Target. I actually love the brown. It was fairly easy to install, which says alot because I was installing it in a tricky seat (RF, center of 2nd row with ALR lap belt). So it goes in rock solid, next to DD's MA. And the best part is that even with the MA and the EFTA side by side, there is enough room to flip my passenger side bucket seat forward for access to DD1's Radian in the 3rd row. I leave the seat flipped forward, but have to be able to flip it back into position for someone to ride back there. So, that worked. DD1 tested it out yesterday. She loved it, and had about 1.25" RF in it with the infant padding in. Then I put DD2 in it, and she loved but but has some head slumping when she falls asleep. I think we are just spoiled with the MA, since she just has to tip her head to the side. And, today (2nd day in use) I had the crotch buckle flip around on the strap. But I love the adjuster. :thumbsup:

I have to say, DH was shocked to see that I bought the EFTA instead of a Marathon! I told him I bought DFS a car seat and he went to check it out and said "WTF that's not a Britax!". I had to explain about the 35lb limit. I think this would be a good seat for grandma's car, since it's super easy to adjust between several different kids :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Glad you found a seat that works!

I'm impressed he knew it wasn't a Britax LOL. My DH just knows which seats the "expensive" ones are. I told him the covers are labeled... I'm glad you like the seat!
