Trying to decide... MT or TWE?

Oooh, what cover is that?

Olivia. It's bright red, but all the black trim fools the auto white balance in the camera so it looks almost pink.

I just sold it: http://www.car-seat.org/showpost.php?p=1699949&postcount=16

Thanks! It's much prettier in person. My daughter is dithering between Olivia and Billy currently.

I played around for about 1 hour with three across situations this morning

What did work:

Adult w/out seat but plenty of room, RN rfing or ffing, MT
MR rfing, RN rfing, MT rfing ( I had to really work to get this, but they did all install independently- I installed and took out multiple times to check)

I think RN, RN, MT would fit too but my other three RNs are in my moms car.

I also think RN and adult or narrow booster and MT would work too.

I've included a bunch or pictures for your viewing pleasure

This was fun!

Edit: And to clarify, I could not do MR, RN ffing, and MT. The MR and RN puzzle really well when both rfing though. And MR ffing, RN rfin and MT didn't work either. Plus, the RN rfing center is really reclined in this car - a lot more than when it is outboard.

I'm REALLY impressed with this. What year is your Elantra? The only 3-across that works in my '02 is RN/RN/RN. Well, technically RN/CCO/RN worked as well, but then the CCO was incompatibile, so not so much.

It is a 2010 Elantra. I was shocked the MR fit into the equation honestly, but it puzzled right in there.

Maybe it is because the RN in the middle was so reclined. Don't know, just that I was shocked. Plus, I did a little happy dance lol.

I am teetering between my for Cowmoo (MT) and a TWE. I wish the Two Way came in Cow. I really like the Billy pattern and the extra leg room & height the TWE gives. I am just puzzled about the install on the TWE. I read the manual and it's just strange how far back it is from the vehicle seat with nothing in between. I know it has the arm on the back but I still think it is a little odd. And, as far as bracing, the sensors in my '07 Yukon are in the butt part of the front seats so I am ok, right?

Well, now I have an excuse to get a MR and a MT.

We don't know, that's the problem. I ended up buying the MT because our forester vaguely says not to have anything pushing on the front seat even though the sensors are under where the passenger's thighs sit in the front seat. Having a seat braced on it may do nothing. It may cause the airbag to deploy at a random time or it may cause it not to deploy in an accident. I decided not to take the chance. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=166262 That's the thread I started about it and several techs did chime in.

I saw them side by side in the store and I really didn't like Billy at all. It's very black and the fabric feels thinner and more synthetic. Felix is nicer if red is not an option.

Thanks everyone for the pics!!! I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the TWE... ... I'm so excited... Will have someone riding in this soon nuff!

Thanks Jeanum for clarifying with the bracing... I was wondering about it... but I have a 96 Ford Windstar so that's not a biggie..

Awesome!!

She liked the "polka dots" on Billy but I prefer red, she's currently leaning toward Olivia so maybe I'll get that and just say, "oh sorry, thought that's what you said you wanted!" and she'll get over it.

The dots look grey in the pictures but are in fact black on black, just a more reflective surface on the fabric. Without good lighting you would hardly see them, i think. The red is much nicer IMO.
