OK, so against the better judgement of a poll I created long ago I went for the DC over the MA. After playing with the DC in BRU I didn't think the harness adjuster worked *that* hard (not thinking about how broken in it must be). I liked the larger seating area it had over the MA & I liked that sahara cover was available.
So, like many of us, I thought that 35lbers were being made & near the end of the sale I saw Amazon was sold out. So, I figured I'd take a small gamble and order during the sale while they are sold out so I could get a new DOM. It worked. I got 2-19-08. However, it's 33lb RF & I called Britax and asked about it and the CSR I spoke with said that they weren't going to be making the DC's 35lbs now or any time soon (as far as she knows), but maybe they'll test 'em to 35 later. Something about the way she said it made me thing "yeah, right"
So, as of now there is no such thing as a 35lber DC If you want a 35lb limit seat go for the MA or the BV.
Ok, the harness.
I had to use the POWER OF GREYSKULL to tighten it on Mickey. Seriously, I'm a strong person & that was tough. I actually could NOT get it tight on him the first time I tried. Turns out if I pull the harness from behind the shell (like a rear adjust) when I'm tightening or loosening it works much better.
I have no problems when the harness is in higher slots with Seamus. (well, other than the thumb muscle workout I get from pressing the stiff button)
So, I don't really want to return it (and the spare cover I got at the same time), but I'm irritated with it and myself.
I'm going to keep it, but I'm going to sputter about it.
