Love it!
As much as I said I hated the look of the seat (base, mainly) when it first came out, I'm absolutely in love with this seat. I'm so happy that I decided to go with it. It saved me $100 going with the MR instead of the CA, and I'm confident that we'll have no problem getting Isabel to age 3 or 4 rear facing in this seat. :thumbsup:
I was a little disappointed when it first arrived. I saw the delivery guy walking along side my house to my backporch to drop it off, so I met him out there. Instantly I turned red! The box I said to him, "Wow that sure is damaged!" and he just chuckled "heh, yeah, sorry." and walked off.
So I took pictures and came inside to upload them here. You all made me feel better, saying this is normal and after inspecting the seat for cracks or damage you'd feel confident in using the seat without second thought. So that's what I did, and everything was good to go!!!
She's on the middle slot, 3rd from top/3rd from bottom
Brinlee decided to get in it, she'd be on the next to top slot rear facing, and has plenty of growing room. She insists she wants a seat like Isabel, but at 4 yrs 4 mo. I'm fine with her forward facing and we won't be buying her one. She has wild hair, but if you press her hair down the top of her head is right at that piping between the pattern fabric and the gray fabric. She's 35 pounds and between 41 and 42 inches... depending on who measures her and her mood
Head room, forward facing position (legs out) uninstalled sitting on floor
Isabel went down for a nap, so I headed outside to install the seat and once it cooled down I took Brinlee outside to give it a try. It installed wonderfully in my car. No noodle needed, and it's as upright as it can go for the little leveler ball to still be in the green area. The edge of the ball is on the red/green line. I'm happy with the recline though.
Head room, installed rear facing
A couple different leg positions she was trying out
Then Isabel woke up from her nap so we went outside to play!!
She approves!!
It's so hard to get pictures in the back seat of my 2 door car. There isn't a lot of room to be inbetween the My Ride and the Nautilus we have for Brinlee. I definitely couldn't get a 3rd car seat between there.
