I tried out the Peg FF in our vehicle and it kinda sucks. I think it might be incompatible. But I wanted to ask to be sure. The manual unfortunately does not address the issues I had.
I don't have pics as it is pitch black outside so not easy to get a decent pic but I should be able to describe it. Here's a pic of the seat to help visualize.
I think the Canadian model has a different base on it due to the ARB. The part that narrows at the front of the base seems larger than the US model pics I saw. I've even seen pics without the portion that narrows. Anyway, on our models, the base narrows at the font and is a couple inches deep. So if I put the seat flat on the vehicle seat, that narrow part is completely off the vehicle seat and hanging off the front. And then there is a good 6-7" of space between the vehicle seat back and the Peg. The gap narrows as it goes up until the head area contacts the vehicle seat. I just don't see how that would be a reasonable install.
If the back of the Peg is against the vehicle seat back as much as I can make it be, then the base touches the vehicle seat bottom at the front then a gap increases until it's a couple inches off the vehicle seat at the rear. Not sure if anyone has asked Peg if this is allowed? Seems to me that even if installed tight, you now have the possibility the base could slide forward if the forces were enough (i.e. in a crash) and have more movement of the seat. Maybe that won't happen though?
Anyway, local baby store has 10% off on seats tomorrow so I am trying to figure out if this Peg is going to work FF or not as if it won't, I will likely buying something new tomorrow that will hopefully work both RF longer and also work FF.
