We are planning 4 long drives this summer, the first the beginning of June.
My DD1 still fits with plenty of room RFing but doesn't like it anymore so she is FFing now. However, we have yet to find a good forward facing "vacation" seat. The YS is pretty narrow and has good SIP for sleep, but no place for drinks and snacks. The GN is a perfect set up since she can cross her legs and put drinks and snacks in the cupholders. But the headslump is horrible. So that's out (we did that last year). The Radian also lacks the place to put "stuff".
I admit to caring more about cupholders and snackholders on long trips than the carseat itself Long drives are painful with this child and anything I can do to make this easier I will do, even if the all around seat isn't that great.
So the MR looks like it has great recline for her low tone, plus no headslump and great SIP and of course, the beloved cup holders we need
So even if it's a crappy seat that's hard to adjust and I wouldn't want everyday (not saying the MR is that) if it works for our trips, I'm buying it
So I've seen no pics in cars of FFing. How's the recline and head support?? How about leg support?
Did anyone actually purchase this seat or just try it out? I just need a pic of a kiddo in it forward facing so I can see the recline, head support and leg support. Can a kiddo reach the cupholder? I hated the Frontier because my kid couldn't reach them!
