If you want to hear offensive, Dh is from India and refers to himself as "Dark Meat".

Trudy, my DH is from Vietnam and frequently refers to himself as both Oriental and Asian. Not everyone considers it to be offensive
But, I think I'm going to have to settle for naming DH"s vasectomy.
Sorry, I had no idea. I thought it was more generic than singling out a specific country or race... I guess I shouldn't have said anything.
(Or maybe just said his whole family is vertically challenged & left it at that..:thumbsup: )
eta: I changed the original post, if you want to edit it out of your post too. I'm sorry I didn't realize this when I posted... and here I was trying to be PC.
An appropriate substitute is Asian. :thumbsup:
Actually, I find Asian completely offensive and refuse to use it. Asia is a continent, not a country. Russians are Asian. Israelis are Asian. Armenians are Asian. Type casting an entire country by a small region of it is offensive to a lot of people.
I prefer the term "person" to be honest. Besides, if they're from America, they're Americans. They may have descended from people from the Orient at some point, but they're still Americans.
I have that seat & I put the straps as high as they go, install the kid, tighten the knob and let that pull the harness height down. I feel light it goes right to AT the shoulder height that way. I personally haven't noticed them go below with wiggling, though if I tried to tighten it with him slouched it could very well work out that way. :twocents:Evenflo Triumph Advanced
Nice seat, but WHAT were they thinking with that harness adjuster? the tabs slide right below the shoulders every time the kid wiggles. Honestly, though, I didn't mind the harness tightening knob, seemed fairly easy to use.
I get at least 17 inches, you know, if the harness straps didn't fall down
And to the OP - so sorry for the massive derail of your thread!
I realize this thread is about to get completely derailed, LOL, but I'd like to point out that "asian" has to with ethnicity, not nationality. Same as 'caucasian'. Caucasians could be from the US, from France, or from South Africa. To reference Asian people to indicate that they are more petite than Caucasians and will fit in seats longer is perfectly appropriate:thumbsup:
And to the OP - so sorry for the massive derail of your thread! I have another tangent, though - where do you find playdress/legging sets for a good deal? I tried stalking ebay but haven't found the prices to be really great.

ETA: see in your first pic how the harness is folded at the buckle. It does that all the freaking time and it drives me nuts.
