Somebody hold my hand, please.

I am finally going to admit that I should have done it in June when I turned C FFing due to weight.

I am buying two regents.

One will be Huntington.

I wonder if my daughter will care if hers is bright pink and covered in flowers.


What finally did it for me, was when I put her in a Nautilus at target last night and she was on the outhermost crotch setting and looked squished.

What about the sleeping? I hate seeing young kids in that seat when they are trying to nap

What's wrong with the Signos? (sheesh, I go away for a few minutes and look what I miss!)

Squishing, lots and lots of squishing. She was starting to look like Lars on the Recaro website.

She still has room in the radian widthwise because of the open sides and sleeps pretty well in it in recline mode.

I might just use that for a while and get J the regent. Hmmm, then I would only have to buy one seat.

I could try and see what she looks like when J's gets here.

and once upon a time one mom had a poor baby girl who could never sleep in the car and drove her mom nuts and cried and fussed every trip. And all her mom wanted was a seat her kid could sleep in. And there is only ONE seat she has ever slept in So the Signo made a long trek to the great North and saved the day. And everyone lived happily ever after...
The end


Atleast I hope everyone lived happily ever after....



I personally would try C out in J's Regent first. Being that young, I see major head slumpage issues. That way you can figure it out before you buy it. And hey...maybe new covers will come out in the mean time if you aren't nuts about the pinkishness of the Madison

Yeah, try out J's before you buy one for C :thumbsup:

Leah absolutely adores her Frontier...wide, comfy, great for sleeping...

Have you tried the Frontier? What about the TF?

Either way, I would totally buy a girly seat for my girl if girly was an option

Yeah, go for the pink. While I'm not a big pink fan, my dd who loves blue, really likes her pink seat and proudly shows it to everyone. She sleeps well in it, but is taller than your dd. She calls it her "La-Z-Girl" seat.

Rest assured, whatever it is, it will probably be pink and flowered.

Charlie sleeps fine in it, and has been in one for about a year, maybe more.

I got a Huntington and I it. And I got a Bouquet which I have to admit I don't love it like I used to But I would have liked to have the Madison and may be the next cover I go for, unless something nicer comes along or the Shannon drops out of the sky.
Anyway, my DD doesn't fall asleep in the car but with the crazy recline I don't see her having a problem if she did. I guess it would depend on how it installs.

My dd has been in a Regent since she was 3 and she has never had a problem sleeping. With the recline bar in it is actually pretty reclined for a ff seat. If we're going to be driving a long time (when she might actually sleep) she always brings her blanket and tucks it next to her head like a pillow. Works just fine for us.

My DD does the same thing. She's been in hers for 3-4 years now and has never had a problem with head-slump. The recline bar really does recline it!

We have had our Regent since my son was 2 1/2 and 40 lbs. He has never had any problem sleeping in the Regent. Even before we used the recline bar we didn't have any problems. Go pink!

Thanks everyone for your advise. J's regent should be here tomorrow (gotta love amazon prime) and we shall see how she fits. I should have plenty of time to order her one on sale.
