I can't seem to find a picture of a naked one anywhere.
I posted before that I was trying to figure out what to do when Elizabeth starts preschool in July. It is set up so you pull up and the teachers get the kids in. Parking and going in to get a kid is VERY annoying because it is hard to pull out because of the line of cars.
I don't want to turn Elizabeth forward facing but I'm also uneasy with the teachers buckling her in when I can't see what they are doing. Benjamin is in the very middle of the van in a marathon and I could reach over and buckle him, but last year I hurt my back and put him on the side and his straps were twisted 80% of the time.
My plan was to keep Elizabeth rear-facing and let her used Benjamin's seat when I had to pick her up. I figured the straps would be a bit over her shoulders but it would be better than having her forward facing full time.
Not sure if that will work though because Benjamin is close to being too tall for the MA and I'm going to get him either a nautilus or a frontier. I was playing with the nautilus and noticed that it only has foam on the headrests. I need to try them both in it but I think if I have it adjusted for Benjamin the headrest would be too tall and Elizabeth wouldn't have foam around her head.
After seeing how the wizard only has foam on the wings I'm betting the frontier is the same.
Benjamin will be in all day kindergarten and won't be in the seat as much. I could adjust it for Elizabeth and change it back when Benjamin needs to ride in it. Which seat would be easiest to do that with? I could also put the radian there in the middle, it has foam all down the sides. I hadn't considered putting the radian there because it sits much further back and lower than the marathon and it would be harder to reach around and buckle from the front seat.
I also thought about teaching the teachers how to buckle the kids in after I'm certified again. Then I could leave her rear-facing. The teachers really need to know how to buckle the kids in anyway.
There is also one teacher that Benjamin had last year who was awesome about getting Benjamin in right, I'm wondering if I could request that that teacher always be the one to bring her out.
It could all be a moot point, she is 32 lbs and might be 35 lbs by July anyway.
