DD's New Seat! - Safety 1st Advance 70 Air +

We went and got DD's new seat today at Target. (Her MA had to be replaced after we hit a deer.) I narrowed it down to the Advance 70 Air or the MySize. We decided to get the Advance 70 Air because it had a nicer softer cover and a lot more padding. The head wings on the MySize seemed bare and hard compared to the ones on the Advance 70 Air. Only thing is I wish it had the better latch connectors but oh well. I haven't had the chance to install it yet because its late. I am going to install it in the rental car tomorrow. So far I really like it though. Here are a few pictures (sorry we have really poor lighting in our house). The first pic it is on the 2nd slot and the second pic is the top slot. I think she has a lot of growing room. She is currently 22 Months 20 lbs and 30 in. I don't think that the 40" rule will be a big deal for her. I think she will easily make it to 3 RF in this seat. Tomorrow I will take a few pictures of it installed and maybe get a better one of her in it.

ETA: I couldnt find anything in the manual about how long to use the body pillow for. So I assume you can just remove it when you think its time? I tried her in the seat with and without it and I think she looks more comfortable without it.

The seat installed really easily in the rental car (2012 Dodge Charger). Turns out they are going to total our van so I hope it will install just as well in whatever we get to replace the van. Overall I'm happy with the seat but there are a few things I wish were better. It would be nice if it had harness covers as they rub DDs neck a bit and I think the grey square below the headrest looks weird. I wish it went behind the cover, but I called customer service and they confirmed that it goes in front of the cover. I think I can live with those things though.

I saw this in Target today and instantly wanted to take one home! (If it weren't for the 40" rfing height limit...)
