right now my set up is described in my sig.
since i have a relatively small car, i am looking to replace the RF evenflo triumph with another convertible that is possibly more slender. as it is, the triumph at about a 35 degree incline is contacting the driver's seat (i realize that's a good thing), but i am forced to keep the driver's seat a tad more forward than is optimal for me. what convertibles would you recommend that may allow me to kick my seat rearward one or two notches?
my other criteria would be:
FF compatibility to >40 lbs, as i have learned since purchasing my recaro that FF 40 is not really ideal in the long run.
comfort. we take some long trips and i want a seat that is as anatomically correct and comfortable as possible (another reason i love the recaro-- my daughter is comfortable in it for hours at a time!).
TSIP or equivalent. after seeing the recaro in use i just love the side impact protection. plus the recaro SIP allows my daughter to sleep very peacefully without drooping her head.
price is not so much an issue, and i would love to just get a britax boulevard for the TSIP but i'm thinking that's just going to be way too big for my car. is it much bigger than the evenflo triumph?
lastly it should be available in a charcoal/gray/black pattern to compliment my interior. what can i say, i'm a car guy and aesthetics does have to be taken into account.
should i wait to see what recaro's new convertible will be like? i'm not in a super hurry, but i would prefer to have a solution within a couple of months. basically i would buy a boulevard in a heartbeat since it meets all my other criteria but i'm guessing it's not going to work given my space constraints. so let's hear your thoughts!
