A RF True Fit in a '99 Explorer that is. I had been going back & forth between the EFTA & TF for the past few weeks. DS is 14 mo, 26lbs & maybe 29 inches??. I really needed something with more leg room so I was leaning toward the TF. But I was concerned about how much space it would take up front to back because BIL frequently rides with DH in this vehicle & he is really tall so he needs to have the front seat back pretty far.
When I saw that Target had the TF on sale, I figured what the heck, I can always take it back so I ordered one (ordered on Friday, had it on Monday , but 5/18/08 DOM).
I just installed it on my lunch hour & it actually fit really great!! It takes up about the same amount of space as the Scenera we had in there (which really shocked me). I didn't have to use a noodle, but I think I might add one to give it a little more recline. The harness adjuster is buried, but it is do-able. The lock-offs will take a little getting used to, but in the end should be easier than the locking clip we had been using (when we locked at the shoulder, it caused the Scenera to tilt). I don't really have any questions (at this point, haha) but I just wanted others to know that this gigantic seat really can fit in small spaces!
