I got to play with a Como today for the first time. I loved it. It is a great seat. My oldest dd has to room to grow in the slots. Almost as much as the Nautilus. My baby seemed snug in it. It looks like it will fit a newborn great. My 4-year-old is the size of most 6-year-olds and hardly fits most seats, but fit in this one great. Why isn't this seat recommended more often? I see the TF, the EFTA and the Marathon mentioned a lot, but I don't think I've ever seen the Como or Signo. I'm just wondering why. I have heard the leg room is not great for older rear-facers. Is this the main reason? Are there other reaons not to recommend it?
On a side note: The sales guy was telling me it's a safer seat than the Marathon or Blvd, because the side are 4 inches vs. 2 inches and the child stays inside the SIP more with the recaro seats. He also showed me bars in the back that are way bigger and more solid than the Britax. he also mentioned something about the base being a reinforced collapsible base vs. the Britax collapsible base. Anyone know what this means? Then I asked him between the Marathon and the Blvd, which does he think is safer. He said the Marathon because you have the EPS foam all the way down. In the blvd you only have it in the head wings. He seems to think the head wings add little or no extra protection. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
