Sam is 7 months, 21 pounds, no clue on length but he's pretty long. Using second slots on SS1. He seems comfortable enough and fits fine. But it's getting difficult to buckle/unbuckle him because he's pretty wide and it's pretty narrow. But I'm mostly considering it because he's trying to sit up in it all the time. He's constantly picking his head up to look around. I don't know that he wants to sit up so much as he wants to see out the side, which he can't do because it's so deep. He's always looking at brother, of course.
We very very rarely take the bucket out of the car. He can almost sit up by himself (he can mostly maintain the position, but he can't get there on his own) so it's not needed in restaurants or the store. Even when he's sleeping, we still take him out of the seat.
So since we're not using it as a carrier, and he's trying to see out the side, should I just move him? I have a BV to move him into, but I wonder if he'll get upset he can't see out the side. He's not unhappy in the SS1. The only real downside to moving him is that they'd have to change positions in the van if I want to tether the BV. I have a dedicated TA on the passenger side (for some reason, the front seat has a TA) but I can't even use the d-ring on the driver side. So Charlie would have to move behind the driver and I don't know that he'd take to it too well (or he might not care at all).
It would clear up some space in my house. If I did that and then sold the FN, I'd have no seats on my seat shelf!
