I am so excited!!!!
I got my nephew out of his improperly installed Safety 1st infant seat (the base installed with the seat belt and using the latch as a tether) and into a properly installed (AFAIK) EFTA!!!!
I'm going to find the name of a tech through SK to check the install before I leave town.
My DN is growing out of the bucket (3.5 mo and 17 lbs!) so my SIL was going to buy an Eddie Bauer 3in1 with her next paycheck but DH and I offered to buy her an EFTA now. So that's what he's got!
I told her about ERF and EH and she likes the Graco Nautilus (or something like it when the time comes) for later. She seems to be all for harnessing until he just doesn't fit anymore, but I'm not sure yet if she'll ERF. She's really big on listening to doctors, so I'll print up the AAP statement on RF. I hope the combination of sometimes ignorant doctors and family pressure don't cause her to turn him before he outgrows the seat. I'll keep working on her though.
I have one question for the techs. Does the EFTA have to be in position 1 for rear facing or can it be in position 2 when the child is older? Or can you just install it more upright (but still in position 1) with some tech-tricks?
TIA!
