Okay, so I have some questions about this seat:
1. In general, what are the pros and cons? I don't see it recommended often on here except for travel, even thought it seems like the perfect seat for folks with three rows to their vehicle. Is it not a good everyday seat? Does it not provide enough SIP? Not comfy? Most of the negative amazon reviews seem to be from folks who didn't get how the seat works -- saying that it's a piece of junk because it requires a top tether to hold it up, etc. so it's hard to say what the downsides are for folks who actually understood what they were buying.
2. What are the LATCH restrictions for this seat? It occurs to me that it might not last long if the seatbelt install is so difficult. The seat is light, though, which seems to be in it's favor? If the seat is 11 lbs, then can the lower anchors be used until the child is 54 lbs?
3. Would it install okay in a forester or other car with tether anchors on the ceiling?
