I was over the moon to get this seat. Iam not sure what I was expecting but its just really not living up to whatever that was I guess.
Heres the situation...
I had my oldest (24lbs /3years) in a MA and my youngest (24lbs / 14 months) in a safeseat they were both happy. However my sister was home to visit and the seat she had her 8 month old in was so not the right fit for her car!! The car has very deep back seats and the convertable seat, she had borrowed was basically stright up and down with no recline at all. Iam sure the baby must of been dropped forward the whole trip home Sadly she thought she was doing good since her baby bucet seat was too small.
Anyway I didnt see this seat untill she was going home....I tried to reinstall it with some noodles and I just couldnt for the life of me get it tight, so I gave her my safeseat, since I knew she was going to need a seat anyway since the one she had was borrowed and well it sucked for her car anyway.
The safeseat did go in rock solid
So I had to go out and get a new seat since I didnt have a spare and I decided to move the youngest into the MA and get a trufit for my oldest so he could have more leg room. The problem is my oldest is so skinny it seems like the straps dont fit him. They seem really far apart (the straps) and the strap at the belly seems to be really far from his belly. I tried moving the crotch buckle but then it goes under him and it says in the manual you shouldnt have it like this.
So I dont know what to do and Iam looking for suggestions. I have the trufit that just doesnt seem to fit my oldest, my youngest is ok in it because hes chubby but I was really hoping to get the new seat for my oldest because even though he is skinny he is kind of long and the MA doest have alot of leg room rf. I LOVe my MA though and if it went to 35 RF I would more then likley buy another !!!
Thanks!!
