Okay Ladies...I am in a serious delima here. I have to buy another seat very soon for when I move to have a seat for my MIL's car as she is going to be keeping DS. I was just planning on buying another EFTA, but now I am considering the TF. She has an older car with no locking seatbelts, so if I bought another EFTA then I would have to use a locking clip...which I HATE now as it is a PITA to use IMHO. I would LOVE to have built-in lock-offs, but am not sure if I would like the TF & if so how easy it will be for my MIL to use properly.

So...if the TF worth the extra $40 for it over the EFTA just for the lock0offs or should I just buy another EFTA? Also will it last me longer than the EFTA, b/c if so then I think it might really be worth it. Please help me decide. I need to just suck it up & go play with it @ Babies R Us, install it, put DS in it, take it to my car & install it...ECT ECT. So What do you think??

Also does anyone have pictures of the Misty Mornings & the Cappuccino patterns IRL? I would LOVE to see both patterns IRL pics please as I am thinking about getting the Misty Morning b/c I LOVE the blue! Is the blue just in the padding or is behind the padding as well??

BTW: DS will be RF in it untill the limits of the seat. I also need to see how HUGE it is in my small car!

I've had both seats and like the Truefit much better, but we had the red tab issue with my ds. Yes, I think you should drag yourself to the store and play with it. As long as you have access, that's what I'd do. Yes, I like the Truefit better. Yes, I think it's more padded and installs easier, but will that be the case for you? Who knows? Anyway, here's a side by side pic of the Barley Twist EFTA and Misty Morning Truefit, infant padding removed (with toddler pillow and head rest). Good luck!

Thanks for the picture & the honest feelings on them both! I :love: my EFTA so it is going to be hard for me to decide. I think I really like the seat, but I can not be 100% sure without really playing with it. I need to decide soon though! However...I appreciate your time...I need to just go play with it to see if I like it or not & decide if it is worth $40 more for me or not! Thanks!
