First off, I know you are going to tell me to go to a baby store and try out the seat - but the nearest store would be almost 3 hours away - so I would like to have some certainty that this will/will not fit before I make the trip, or decide to purchase something smaller.
Howdy - I am wondering if anyone out there has tried this combination. I have 3 children - Son (almost 5, 41" 38lbs) daughter(3, 36", 28lbs) and daughter (1, 27", 17lbs). I am looking at getting a new seat for my son. My son has an appt in just a few weeks, and I'll get an update on size and percentile and how long he probably has under 40 pounds.
He has always been below 50% in height and weight, and I do not feel he is mature enough for a belt positioning booster yet, and it just seems like his convertible seat has so much room on either side of him that without a harness, I am afraid it is just not safe. So I was thinking about the Regent. I talked with one of the baby stores today, and was told that this seat his huge, which I knew, but she said it would not fit in my van backseat (which is a tumble under seat - not removable) with any other seat, and there would be no leg room in my van. Putting in the 2nd row Captains chair there would be no leg room for him --- Can anyone shed any light on this?
