I finally got my 2nd True Fit which was suppose to be the Monet but they sent me the Casino. Oh well, I don't dare send it back because they probably don't have any more!! Here are pictures of my "babies" in their new seats:

Oh, one thing I noticed was the crotch strap position. It is suppose to be in the rear position for under 50lbs. BUT when I put both of my kids in the crotch buckle ended up being under them!! I don't understand that at all. And I'm still having trouble getting the straps to equal out when I tighten them (must be learning dissability ;))

Well they are both VERY nice and your kids look super cute in them! So, the Casino is a true grey and not a browny/grey?

Yes its a true grey. Its very nice, the fabric is super soft and cozy. The pretty Money cover would have been nice, but oh well, I'm really not that dissapointed. I'm going to go and istall them after the kids go to bed (even though its pouring out :D)

Oh I'm sooo glad that you posted pics of the padding! I was wondering how different the sporty blue was from the others. I wonder why the blue one is the only different one out of the bunch?


ETA: What are your adorable baby's stats? I have a 8 month old that I am trying to see how he'd fit in one. :) TIA!

Oh thank you for the compliment, my son is 11mo. 24lbs. and my younger daughter is 26mo. 24lbs. And my oldest daughter is 4.75y/o 45" tall and 40lbs. and fits in the True Fit perfectly!! I'll go put all the padding in both seats and take another pict...hold on a min...

I actually like the infant padding better in the Casino. But the owner's manual says you can only use it on the 1st shoulder height adjustment.

Hmmm... I agree.. I like the casino better, too. Does it say not to use the padding after the 1st setting for the sporty, too? Also the shoulder padding on the casino is bigger isn't it? What does the sporty fabric feel like? What setting is your DS on?

BTW... Both of your LO are absolutely adorable! :love:

The manual says; "The True Fit has been safety tested with the height insert and head pillows that are included with this restraint. The height insert is needed until the child's shoulder is at or above position 1." So, it doesn't say you can't use it but I would get a tech. opinion on that. :confused: The sporty blue fabric feels just as it looks, I'm not sure how to describe it. The casino is definitly very soft with a little more shoulder padding. When I had my son in the sporty blue he was on the 2nd harness setting but it was slightly above his shoulders so I'm going to move it down to the first setting. But I might put my son in the casino with the padding....I'm not really sure yet :rolleyes:

Here he is in the sporty blue with the padding, the shoulder straps are at the 2nd position. It cradles him nicely but it makes it a little more difficult to fasten the crotch buckle:

Hi. I have 2 seats also and actually the insert HAS to be used until over 1st position. It cannot be used after 22 pounds or when forward facing as per the manual. They are really comfy looking and it works well for a newborn too!

Oh, bummer!! :mad: I was hoping to be able to use it in the casino with my son but the shoulder straps would have to be on the 2nd slot and hes 24lbs.

Awww he looks so comfy in his seat! The padding is one of the reasons I was going to get the seat. I love how it cradles. My 8 month old is about 20 # and probably about 28-29 in long now. It sucks that they can't use it longer. :thumbsdown:



I really apreciate all of the pictures and help! Thank you so much! :D

Cute kids! Nice seat! I'm selling my FPSVD and am thinking of getting one. It sounds like you just need the padding to boost up smaller babies to get them closer to the bottom slots.

I love how wide it is. It looks like FF kids would be able to cross their legs in it.

Sorry you didn't get the one you wanted, but it all turned out good. At least you didn't get another Sporty Blue!

I really love the seat depth. My kids have long legs and the Marathon just didn't have the depth I was looking for (even though i LOVE the Britax seats!) I'm still waiting to hear from a tech. about the padding, I really wish I could use it.
