I just got back from seeing the Compass True Fit and I liked it. We took it out and installed it in our car and I have pics of DS in the seat in the store and inside of the car. I'm not worried about the harness height issue now as we have a lot of torso height left before the next slot. I will feel comfortable turning him FFing before then or he will reach the weight limit. All of the pics of the harness slot on the 3rd slot. We didn't have time to put it on the 2nd one but it gave me an idea of how long we'll be able to use it on the 2nd one. If I pushed down really hard on the seat bottom and measured to the top of the harness slot I could almost get 18". It's hard to tell where the harness will sit in the slot w/o switching the harness to that slot as the holes are pretty big. DS looks like he'll have a lot of growing room in this seat. I took a comparison pic of the seat next to a Como and they are the same height except the True Fit doesn't have a tall base like the Como does.
I was worried that the harness adjuster would be a problem b/c of it's position at the very front of the seat but my car's seat is indented enough that it is not an issue. Also, the harness was easy to adjust once I learned how to lift the lever.
1st pic - comparison shot
2nd pic - top harness slot height - pen is in the top slot hole but it is not at the top of the hole
3rd - DS in the seat
P.S. Excuse the messy car... I just got back from a short road trip and haven't had a chance to take everything out.
