Beofre I ordered the foot rest with our RYSport I called www.recarochildseats.com & asked for clarification that the foot rest was only for the RYStart (I should've just asked Darren here, LOL) ... they said, no it can be used on the RYSport as well -- NOT!!! Silly me, I've been sooooo looking forward to having it & even built Leila's hopes up for it *UGH*
We've had the new RYSport for a week or so, but when I called the retailer asking about the foot rest, they said Recaro North America (the manufacturer) was sending it to me ... well, I just got it today & the manual clearly says it's only for the RYStart -- but, when I went to check out the RYSport thinking I might just call the manufacturer this time about whether or not the foot rest had been tested with the RYSport I realized there isn't anywhere to install the flippin' thing anyway! I'm so mad
Now, I feel like we're right back where we started -- frequent long drives during which her legs go numb & her back aches & I can't fit an empty cardboard or styrofoam box under her feet (not one that's the right size/shape) At least she's not getting quite as cranky because she has the head support, but for that I could've just bought the baby a Scenera & used the BLVD again *SIGH*
I could return the RYSport (not sure how to go about returning the foot rest yet, though), but Leila is really very happy to have her "head pillows" LOL, except that she complains about her legs/back still & then I'd be out even more $ on shipping -- can't afford the SafeGuard right now anyway because I have to pay back some $ to my college for having withdrawn from 1 of my classes @@ I've had her seat installed in the center with outboard LATCH (according the 2005 Ford Freestar manual), but I'm going to try her out on the passenger side instead ... hopefully, she'll be able to at least prop her feet up on the handle behind the front seat *SHRUG*
