I believe this is a benefit of EFTA. Are there others out there?

My SIL wants a car seat to use when her various nieces and nephews are in the car with her. All are small enough to be in a 35 lb seat RF but I want to suggest one that will be easy to adjust the harness height without having to re-thread it.

EFTA is almost hard not to adjust for each child. The TF has a no-rethread harness, as well, but the adult definitely has to actively change the height.

I think any RF seat is easy to adjust without reinstalling. :twocents:

I guess I am looking for ones that would not need to be uninstalled to adjust the harness height. We've change the height on our MA and safeseat and would not have attempted either while the seat was installed in the vehicle.

EFTA and Britax Boulevard (can be tethered rf) are both very easy to adjust with out uninstalling the seat both rf and ff.

I've never uninstalled my MA to change the strap height. I just move the drivers seat all the way forward and peek under there. It's really easy. You might be surprised.

The Evenflo Symphony, but it only harnesses to 40 lbs.

True Fit, Signo, BV if the kids are relatively close (I think it takes longer and is harder to swap the BV for Sam and Charlie than the MA), AOE, Frontier which is FF only but you said "small enough in a 35 pound seat." So 11 pounds or 31 pounds?

Thanks everyone -

Splash - two of the children are in the upper 20 lbs. The newest baby will be here in the fall. Don't worry - we won't put the newborn in an inappropriate seat - but it will need to be RF for when that baby is older.

True Fit, EFTA, Symphony, and AOE all have no-rethread harnesses.
