And 3 across for fun. They all fit. Blvd w/ latch como & tf w/ buckle. Wouldn't really work in an everyday real life and the tf was very tight against the door. But for fun they did fit.

Wow. Those are amazing. The Boulevard looks so narrow on the interior, but look at how little leg room the Como has!! And the True Fit looks awesome naked. So much foam.

Man my kid is puny. He's 18 months and 32" at 24lbs.

Nice pics. I need to get around and take car seat pics of my own. What's funny is I have that exact Como and nearly identical Blvd (also black and grey).

Is it just me or does it seem like the TF has lots more shell above his head in those pics? Do the top harness heights match up to that?

It does have the tallest shell. My 6.75 year old fits in it by height for rear facing still. She'd be too squished in the shoulders in the Como, and she outgrew the Boulevard over a year ago, probably closer to two years ago, by rear facing height.

Thanks Wendy, I thought maybe my mind was playing tricks on me! In the side by side pics they really seem as though they're all the same height. Do you account for the different because of the way the kids sit in the seat? I have an EFTA, it's deceptive in that it doesn't seem terribly tall but at 3.5 ds still has lots of shell above his head, LOTS, because they sit kind of down in a bowl in the seat. Is the TF similar that way?

(And how are you feeling?! :D)

I'm feeling fine, thanks. :)

The True Fit isn't up on a base at all. So in absolute inches from floor to top it's roughly the same, but the Boulevard is up on a base and the Como is on an even higher base. So their internal shell height is less.

You're welcome. :)

:yeahthat:

Now, if I can hold out until the arb truefit comes out, and if I can like the continuous harness....I think it is now down to the arb truefit, the boulevard (or the cs for the cowmoo:whistle:) and the new graco (If I have that long). THe pics were great! Thankyou:love:

Great pics, and Adorable model!

Just curious, which seat is your favorite?

Thanks... umm right now, I *think the blvd*. I don't use the truefit in my car often because the harness adjuster is buried, but it's great in my mom's van and she can use with any of the three grandkids easily :). I like the como, but it would not install today. When I first got it, it wasn't really a problem in the same spot, but today the latch belts did not want to tighten. And with my car, being well a car, the base is kind of bothersome unless I like to bump heads. But again in my mom's van we use it for my nephew (21 months 32lbs, and my sis refuses to rearface him or even buy a decent seat for him different story:mad:) for now and it's great for head slump for him and gets him out of cosco hbb. I want to try a radian and I can't wait for My Ride :)

Thanks for taking the time to do the comparison, it was great :thumbsup: I do love all the foam in the true fit! But I hate that short crotch strap :mad:
