In the house

ETA: I think I will be getting another Radian XTSL like this one for Meerkat once she outgrows the Chicco KeyFit 30, too!

The weight limits are really poor, but at least it's comfortable I guess. Filled a gap for awhile! Of course we got the lecture from the in laws about how that model of seat was good enough for my niece, so why can't Nim just FF like 'every other baby'. It's hard trying to explain it, because invariably the person you are explaining it to will think you are attacking the way they do something

I'm jealous! I'd love to try a multi tech. But I guess in reality the 45lb weight limit mine has now is enough for my kids they are so dang skinny...my almost 7yr old is just now 45lbs

Yay!!!! He looks so comfy in it!! I'm sad we can't use our infant padding anymore

What slot is he on?

Also what's on your seatbelt next to it? Blue and yellow it looks like?

Looove those pics TL! Fab carseat and love Otter's cheeky grin! He;s loving it!

TigerLady · Jan 11th, 2010, 20:04 PM

Erm... the belts are in the tallest slot for infants... he BARELY fits the head rest. That will have to come out soon.

As long as the straps are at or below he's good

It's a good seat for him since he's so tall it has a really tall shell

TigerLady · Jan 11th, 2010, 22:35 PM

Whew! I redid EVERYthing.

After much cussing and work, I got a really good install in the center. I also adjusted the straps down a notch -- they were right at his shoulders, but are probably better a bit below for now. I'll just have to move everything up in a few weeks.

Oh, I meant to ask, too.... M3... do you know if there is a way to LOCK the side impact head protection in place? I put it to the top like the instructions said for him, but it slides down rather easily.

mommyof3co · Jan 11th, 2010, 22:43 PM

Actually as of now I don't, apparently there is a video showing you how to adjust them, I couldn't get mine to slide very easily at all but they happen to be in the right spot for Casen so I haven't messed with them but let me find the video and I'll post it, maybe it will have the info you need too

mommyof3co · Jan 11th, 2010, 22:47 PM

I guess it doesn't need to lock? Mine is not that easy to move, maybe it was because I was sitting down trying to do it though?
