Questions about Peg Perego 5-70 convertible

[calihannah]

First of all, what the heck do you call [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Peg-Perego-Convertible-Premium-Toddler/dp/B005WH3R9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343963893&sr=8-1&keywords=peg+perego+5+70"]this thing[/ame]? It's another "Primo Viaggio" I guess, but that sounds confusing!

Okay, now for real questions

Just installed this in the relatively small back seat of my husband's 2012 Audi Q5. LOVE the install -- rock solid, 30 seconds to get it in perfectly. Gotta love the separate LATCH straps! It goes in pretty upright, around 35 degrees. As a result, it leaves plenty of room for me to sit in front of it on the passenger side (I'm 5'10").

1) It doesn't appear to allow RF tethering. Is that correct?

2) There are apparently 10 positions for the headrest and therefore for the harness. However, I can't figure out where it shows what position the headrest is in, and only the bottom 7 are allowed for rear-facing. I tried to pull it up all the way to the top and then count down 3 clicks, but I kept missing a click and sliding down two clicks at a time or similar. There must be a better way

Overall, I am in love with this seat and am SO glad to have another 45lb RF seat as an alternative to the Radian! It looks like it will fit DD (super tall, over 99th percentile) for a loooong time.

I know, Peg likes to call everything the Primo Viaggio. Just wait until they release their Primo Viaggio booster!

1. Nope, no rf tether.

2. Measure up 14.2" and that's the top rf harness slot. Make sure you get the .2" in there . (http://carseatblog.com/16793/peg-perego-primo-viaggio-sip-5-70-convertible-review/)

It's a great seat and I'm glad you're liking it so far.

Thank you! Seriously, though, there's no way of telling from the shell?! That's just begging for misuse...oh wait, that assumes that parents will try to RF their extremely tall and likely, oh, 4yo kiddos Probably not an issue for most parents, I guess!

For my nearly 36" 20-month-old on the other hand...this seat gives me hope that we can make it to 3 RF (In my car, we have a RXT, so I know we can get there in that seat...but it won't fit in DH's car even with the angle adjuster.)

We have this seat too and overall we love it. Every seat has advantages and disadvantages.

Unfortunately the manual is very poorly written, but their CS were more than helpful.
