Kira woke up while I was uploading the pictures. I'll do a more thorough write up soon, though.

Wow, the booster pics look better than the ones taken at BRU. Off the go look. You are so lucky to get to play!

What is Roman's torso height? Also, did you take a pick with him and the head rest all the way up?

Great pics! Thanks. Looks like a decent seat for the peanuts who won't be 40#s until 6.

Your kids are adorable - and your baby, I just want to squish her! So cute

would you say any of your children are comparable in size to the H-III 6 yr dummy?

and I can't wait for your review. I've got questions that I'm guessing you'll address.

And Kira FF before a year. Tsk tsk.

I played with one the other day and REALLY liked it. Charlie fit very nicely in it, and seemed to enjoy it. The recline was massive, though. I was thinking I could use other positions for RF, but upon inspection of the manual, I can only use position 4, which was soooo reclined. I don't think it would fit in my car. How do you think the recline compares to the MA in terms of how much room it requires?

Also, I was only installing it on a BRU bench which has those 9 foot long anchors.... how was your install? I couldn't judge, since nothing can install well on a BRU bench. We you able to get it tightly installed with the retractors? Do you think that was a user-friendly feature or something that will just cause more confusion and misuse?

I just added more pictures.

Keep asking questions. I'll try to answer all of them in my review. There are definite pros and cons.

One one of the first pics we saw of the Symphony (which i can't find now) it looked like they switched to a different chest clip. Your pic has the old one though. Know anything about that?

Check out the chest clip on Evenflo's site. I HATE the older chest clip. The newer one looks better. Wonder why it wasn't on your seat

Last show I saw was Walking With Dinosaurs Live (last night, as a matter of fact), but unlike every other person in the building, I followed the rules and didn't bring my camera.

What happens to the harness when it is in booster mode?

It was great; my kids gave it 5 stars. I thought it was a bit short (an hour and a half including at 20 min intermission), but even that worked well, since Kira was getting tired toward the end.

We got our tickets cheap (almost 75% off!) as part of a group rate with some other local homeschooled families and had amazing seats. :thumbsup:

that's a good question... I'm not sure... I didn't look in the manual.

I think from your pics it is obvious the bench at the store was not a good demo, which is weird, since it usually works fine, but it might be because of no armrests on this booster.

did you have to put the headrest in the tallest position like I did??

oh... it'd be great to get pics of it compared to the turbo or parkway for height... since I found it kind of short.

You take off the headrest, thread the harness up and back out of the way, the replace the headrest. The crotch strap comes off, and is stowed in the base, which must also be removed for booster mode.
