Love the SureRide!

It's in the manual and printed on the back of the seat. This seat is a fantastic option for parents who want to ERF and Extended harness but are in a budget.

It is in the manual for the 4th slot to be used rfing. My almost 4yo would just fit rfing if he wasn't way over the weight limit. He wears a 5t and normally rides in a fr85.

In Canada only the slanted slots can be used RF. straight slots are FF only.

Whose idea was that? Ugh!

Thanks for the info. How do you know this? I thought the seat wasn't out here yet.

I bought one tonight, I had some store credit at Target and got them to price match as well. I just had to say that this seat is INSANELY EASY to install!! I mean no joke, middle position, 3rd row of my grand caravan with the weird middle seat belt and it was rock solid in less than a minute.

I am punishing DD1 for not sitting nice in her booster She's going to be verrrry surprised when she gets to the car tomorrow morning hehe.

Who did you price match to?

 

[Phineasmama]

To BRU because it's on sale for $79 and available in store.

Thanks to you, this thread, and your pics, my SureRide is ready for in-store pickup at BRU!! My DS has very similar stats to yours, so seeing your RF pics totally sealed the deal!

This will be our new travel/backup seat (replacing a Tribute), but will be used as our main seat for the next couple mos, til I can check out the NextFit & the 2013 Peg.

The attachment doesn't work anymore.

I wouldn't worry about the Canadian rules yet given that the seat isn't out yet for Canada. Wait and see and worry then.

I installed it Sunday morning, so it's only been in use for a day

The install--what a breeze! Very straightforward & easy to get a super tight install. Like a matter of minutes! FWIW this is RF in the middle seat of a 2006 VW Passat. A world of difference compared to trying to get a BLVD in the same location.

My DS is 3y4m, 38-39" and 34 lbs. He is on the last RFing-only slot. When I tried him in the house, I had hope he could go on the either/or slot. But when I got him in the car--no way. It is miles above his shoulders. It truly seems impossible that he will get to move up a slot while RFing. I do wish there was another slot, as the one he has to use is significantly below his shoulders.

I had a little trouble with the crotch buckle at first. It is different from what's on our Tribute. It seems you have to have the buckle "prongs" at a very exact angle for them to slide in.

DS seems to like it. It certainly seems more comfy/cushy than the Tribute, which he's been in for a few mos. I don't think he even remembers his (crashed) Britax now. DH was impressed, he said something along the lines of "wow, they're making these (cheap) seats a lot nicer now" lol I think b/c he is comparing it to the Tribute, which is pretty bare bones. We are both impressed with how light it is--that combined with the easy install will make it a perfect travel seat for many years to come!

So has anyone tried this seat ffing? What's the recline like?

I guess it would depend on your vehicle seats. In my van its very upright on the back bench, but reclined slightly on the captains chairs. The seat itself as virtually no recline.

So anyone want to hazard a guess as to why only the slanted slots can be used RF in Canada?

Was like this in the US. They listened to us asking for them to change it and it happened.

 

[Persimmon]

Oh, I thought it might be somehow related to the way they have to to test seats in Canada--something I know nothing about.
I think I am going to be kind to DH and not make him take the Foonf with us when we fly in May. So glad to have found a good travel seat that can keep DS RF for a while.

It very well could be that they can't test it the way they did here to make the change. I was just pointing out ours changed here.
