I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't care for the head wings at all. :duck: I don't like the way that when adjusted properly for a forward facing child, the head wings cover up the place where the straps go into the car seat shell and make it impossible to adjust. It installed pretty easily, but I can't get past how impossible it is to adjust the harness. This seat will be in the 3rd row and I need to be able to adjust it without climbing back there every time the kid gets in. I'm glad I got the return shipping insurance.
Unfortunately, now I've missed the Britax sale. I tried our Marathon in the middle of the 3rd row and I can sit next to it so I know the kids can. I had hoped with the Radian that my younger son could still use a booster, but the booster wouldn't fit beside the Radian either so I might as well have a seat I like back there.
I'm trying to decide between more Marathons or Boulevards. I know I love the Marathons, but the side impact of the Boulevards is tempting. I'm also wondering if a Frontier would fit back there without crowding the other two kids too badly.
As luck would have it, the fuel pump went out in my truck this morning. We had all the kids dressed and ready for church, got everyone buckled in and it wouldn't start. The lucky part being that I'll have dh ask about having a tether anchor installed behind the 3rd row center while it's in being fixed tomorrow, and also that it didn't happen in the freezing rain at the soccer games yesterday. So hopefully I will be able to tether in that position.
