Hello,
I apologize as this thread might be multi-part, but I am hoping that someone can help me. I am on the hunt for a new car seat as my LO is QUICKLY outgrowing their infant car seat. I was interested in the following three car seats:
Clek Foonf
Britax Advocate
Diono Rainier
I went to the store to look at all three and noticed that while the clek says that they do extended RF, the height limit is 43 inches, the Rainier is 44 inches and the Britax is 49 inches. I am not too concerned about weight as LO runs on the thinner side (40%), but is very tall and mostly legs (80%). I've heard (and read) that the Britax, while good seats are not good for extended RF as they're short, but from what I'm gathering it's actually the best height wise for extended RF, this can't be correct, right? Am I missing something?
My second question is more towards installing the Rainier using the lap/shoulder belt. I tried to put it in the center of my car (06 Toyota Corolla). The base installed pretty tight, but the top made it so it basically could tip over on its side. Someone told me that the Rainier can't be installed in the center, is that true?
1) Is it possible to install this seat in the center using the lap/shoulder belt?
2) does it need to be tethered RF?
3) is anyone else familiar with you can push the top of the seat and it almost falls over on its side?
Finally my third question is, I know that all car seats are safe, but are there pros and cons to each one that you would say would prevent you from buying or push you over the edge to buy?
Thank you so much in advance.
