I thought I had it all sorted out...turns out, maybe not. I have a Honda Fit with a tiny back seat and a super tall husband who has to have his seat all the way back to be in the car. My girl is nearly 2.5, tallish and skinny, and I am expecting baby brother in July. I want to keep my girl RF as long as possible but fear that she may need to be FF when brother arrives as I cannot find a suitable RF option for her that will fit behind the driver with the seat all the way back.
We currently have a Britax Boulevard 70, a Radian R120 (new), and a Coccoro (also new). I have tried every seat at BRU and settled on the Radian and the CCO based on those experiences and advice from many of you here. I got the new seats thinking I was solving the problem, but once they arrived in the mail and I got to test fit them, the CCO only fits behind the passenger (at any angle, not just the newborn angle), leaving my girl sitting awkwardly upright in the BV or with a questionable install in the Radian. It is also very heard to get her in and out in the BV because the entry hole between the car door frame and the BV sides is so tight. When I wedged the Radian in behind the driver, the bottom of the seat was up off the seat of the car by about 3.5 inches, way bigger than I am expecting the angle adjuster to be (which hasn't arrived in the mail yet).
So, do I FF her in the Radian or BV when the baby comes, or jam her in the super upright BV, or is there some other Radian RF install trick I don't know?
AACK!!! Why is this so frustrating?
Thanks,
Whitney
