Ok. We settled on the True Fit as our first convertible for our twins who are 6 mos old (but already outgrowing their snugrides).
I've been doing a lot of research (TF, BLVD, Marathon, Signo & Radian 80) and we chose the TF for our children because genetics suggest that they will be tall & robust. DS is in 98%ile in weight & 75%ile in height while DD is 98% in height & 70% in weight.
The TF seems to physically fit our current & future needs the best.
However, I've been watching the video links to youtube here and now I'm wondering whether we are making a mistake by not getting a car seat that can be tethered. I keep imaging our seatbelts unlatching and the car seat being thrown because it has no tether RF. (My understanding is that is can be tethered FF).
Our mini-van does not have tether anchors & the 2nd row of seats are gone to accommodate DH's wheelchair. We could anchor to floor anchors though which were installed when the van was retrofitted for wheelchair.
I guess there seems to be pro/cons to tether in the first place. Are my fears of seatbelts unlatching & babies' carseats being thrown unfounded? Is that more of a booster seat concern only?
Thanks for any feedback/advice!
