MA vs True Fit

I got a TF to use for the girl I watch. She is 36.5 inches tall, 13.5 inch torso and weighs about 30 lbs. She is RF in my car, but I put her FF a few weeks ago when we had a really bad heat wave. I really like the TF, it is much easier getting her in and out since it does not have a base. Both seats are installed in my 2008 Corolla. She is using the 3rd slots down RF in both the MA and TF, and 2nd slots from the top FF in the MA. The angle of her RF in the MA looks strange in the second picture, but if you look at the first you can see that they are both installed with about the same recline.

ETA: She is 2 1/2, will be three in October.

Hmmm, by the looks of the pictures, there is not that much more leg room in the TF. That's why I wanted to swap my MA for a TF. :(

I think it might just be the pics. It was much easier to get her into the TF leg wise, she had a lot more room. With both seats in the car she liked the TF better. I'm pretty sure you are in my area if you want to try out my TF in your car let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I have been trying to get rid of at least one of our MA's for months. No bite. :sigh: It's a PITA lifting her up on the MA. She can't climb up because it takes forever, since there is no other seat next to it. I really want a TF or a Radian. I will settle for a Como. lol Anything but the MA. :whistle:

I now need to sell the MA, but I'm going to try Craigslist. I sold two others really quickly last year. Did you try craigslist?

Thanks for sharing the pic's and your thoughts. :)

The leg room between MA and TF is drastically different. There is also considerably more shoulder room too. :thumbsup:
