The Roundabout just does not fit my child, what gives? Updated with pictures
Remember, I sold the Priori (carseat love of my life) because my kid hated it. I moved him to a BV which he liked, but I wanted something smaller for now and I couldn't deal with the headwings anymore. So I got him a RA and sold the BV (though it hasn't been picked up yet) with the intent to move him into a MA when he outgrows the RA.
The RA doesn't fit him. It just doesn't.
First off, the crotch strap is so tight around his fat little legs that it digs, bad. I took it out of my car because he actually had a bruise. Now I put it back in more reclined to see if that will help. But the straps won't stay on his shoulders.
He's *barely* above the bottom slots, maybe half an inch. But the straps slide off his shoulders. I can't keep them on. Tight harness, correct chest clip, but they won't stay. They slide right off. I'd move them up and have them above his shoulders, but the fit of the hip straps is so cruddy on him that I am not comfortable with that.
I really don't want to move him into the MA for now. I thought about just putting the BV back in since she's never come to pick it up. I want the RA to work though! Waah!
Any ideas? Do you think the recline angle will help at all? I had it VERY upright, but I just put it in really reclined, I thought it was even *too* reclined, but it's not. It's almost at the max, though. I haven't ridden him in it since changing it. His little leg appears all better, but if it is still hurting him, I don't have a choice.
what gives? This is supposed to be the most fabu seat in all the world, and it is just NOT working for this kid. Why are his little legs so darn fat?
