Update.... Had to use it today cuz blvd was washing.... Do not buy for a ff child! Lol my 5 year old is tiny and the crotch strap is digging into his chicken legs and hurting boy parts

I dont understand how N can use it at 60lbs with no problems but J cant at 40lbs?

Did you move the crotch strap to the outer setting? I loved it for my FF kids, more than RF, actually -- and I am one who prefers convertibles for RF only and combos for FFers.

I only sat her in it and buckled once. Didn't try for regular use.

Oh I better check then haha

That might make a HUGE difference. I don't remember the guideline for crotch strap slot FF - but since for RF it's closest in only, I'm guessing the outside is allowed for FF at some point

Okay so is my kid the only kid that doesn't fit forward facing????? And I had the buckle in the outer most spot.

My almost 7 yr girl can ride FF with the strap in the closest position, but my 4 yr son needs it in the outer position. Was strap in out position. I find it fits low over hips like the older britax seats did. I think graco got complaints about crotch strap being too long on infant seats. They need to do like the radians and offer a longer or shorter strap depending on needs.

 

[xursusmaritimusx]

this is our problem

see how short it is????

 

[Carrie_R]

Amie, I would let Graco know about that problem. They've been really receptive to feedback lately and might be able to devise a solution (even if not for you personally, perhaps for the community as a whole.) That looks really short, though, it's in the forward slot and not hung up on anything?

yep forward slot and not hung up. she was sitting on half of it. i guess she has a j-lo booty

i can let graco know but to be honest i wasnt sold on this seat. i think it needs a lot of things worked out. i suppose i can mention that to them too.

My 6 year old had a jlo booty too.., seriously thinking of looking for apple bottom jeans for 6 year olds haha
