Anyone have experience using the Frontier 85 in a 2008 Ford Fusion or a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo? Will it fit properly? Any issues?
TIA
*I miss my minivan. I wouldn't even have to ask for that*
ETA: Took a long roadtrip this last weekend. 5+ hours each way. Took the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Installed the FR85 rear driver's side with latch. Doesn't look very reclined, but apparently it is much more so than the GN was. I think it really has to do with the fact that there isn't much behind DD's head so she could actually lay it back and be supported while she slept. She only slept on the second day of traveling, but it was amazing. I was so thrilled that her head wasn't falling forward. She looked so much more comfortable. She would roll her head from side to side prediodically, but no slump!!! The one portion she slept for about 2 hours straight. No drool, no slump, no coughing when she woke up. No red marks on her chin from laying on the chest clip. So happy!
Planning a short trip next weekend in the Fusion to see if we have the same results, before I order another one (possibly). I feel the need to have a girl color seat at least in my vehicle. DH's car has the GN/Boy colors so he feels more masculine (as much as you can with a carseat in your vehicle!).
