This seat has been at my house for just over an hour, and I hate it. First off, I'm happy with it's birthday which is 05/09, however the manual, box, and seat still say 35lbs rf'ing. I spent about 30 minutes reading the manual, and it seems pretty straight forward as long as you take time and follow the directions. After reading the manual I ventured out to the truck (05 Ford Expedition w/leather) to see what happened. First I tried it ff'ing with the seatbelt since that seems to be the way there are the most complaints. It was actually fairly easy, and I was impressed and shocked. I tested it side to side and pulled it forward with no movement at all. From there I was thinking that rf'ing with latch should be nothing.....um, yeah, it had to make me curse, didn't it? It took 3 tries and making the mailman blush (he walked around the back of the truck in the middle of the 2nd try) to get the thing as tight as I can, and it's not as tight as I can get the marathon. If I grab the seat on the side at the belt path it really doesn't move, but if I try to move it anywhere up the seat from there it moves more than I would like. It is very reclined, I can't even have the front seat all the way back because it pushed the radian up. So, I don't have pics of it in the truck yet, but here's Kaitlin in it in the house. She has 2 more slots to go. I really don't like that the buckle is that far away, but the manual says to use the outer position for children over 30lbs, and she's a solid 31lbs.
