For use in Mercury Milan (DOM unknown) with 2 other kids, one in a booster (not sure which brand or model).
Here's what we need:
-- back is difficult to detach
-- headrest adjusts quite tall very easily
-- easy to use with locking shoulder belt retractor engaged
Here's what we want:
-- LATCHable
-- deep wings
-- smooshycushy seatbottom
I like the highback Clek & don't care if they think it's heavy because I'm the Mama Bear, I decide, so there! but I think it's too expensive? He doesn't want to spend more than $100 (I have a $20 Target gift card)
Considering the Vivo, but I don't want to put as much responsibility on kiddo to get herself buckled up quickly enough with those funky lap belt slots ... I have no idea how Dad's girlfriend drives, but Dad* isn't legally allowed to drive & is another crash just waiting to happen :thumbsdown:
New Parkway is also a consideration, but I don't think I can trust kiddo or Dad or gf to use the antisubmarine crotch thingy correctly ... plus, the old Parkway was too flimsy for me to trust it with uber clumsy Dad :twocents:
Anything I didn't think of? Might be willing to trade 2 of the 3 seats in my signature (haven't committed myself to that idea yet, so PM me if you want to discuss).
* and, um, yes, if he shows up without gf (who actually owns the car) then I plan to tell him to stay at our place instead while I go to class or I'll call the police (sucks to be on the bad side of a CPST, neenerneenerneener)
