I've been "patiently" waiting for the Nautilus to go on sale at BRU so that I can buy one for dd, but have a question I'm hoping you guys may be able to answer first.
My question is in relation to how differently kids sit in the seat in the vehicle compared to the store. I've been able to try the seat in my truck and know it installs easily, and I've been able to try dd in it in the store, but haven't had a chance to try her in it with it installed in the truck...
In the store, it seems like the headrest pushes her head quite a bit forward. I'm thinking that this isn't going to be as much of a problem once it's actually in the truck because our seats naturally recline quite a bit in the truck and I think the change in angle will change how she sits in the seat. She also had her winter coat over her car coat when I tried her in it and that meant there were 2 hoods behind her hood, which could've also influenced that?
But I'm not totally sure... How have others found their child's head is affected by the headrest in the store/house compared to in the vehicle?
I'm not sure I'll be able to try her in it with it installed in the truck before it goes on sale, which is why I'm asking here. I can always return it if need be, but am trying to get a feel ahead of time. :thumbsup:
eta: I know when it goes on sale which is how I'm figuring I won't have a chance to try her in it in the truck before it goes on sale. It's a perk of working at BRU. (and CDN BRU, so nobody in the US gets their hopes up about the sale.)
