We currently have Barrett RFing in this- http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11563636
It's an "easy fit" model meaning it isn't massive, which is essential in our car, since it has to fit in the middle with one of the front seats always being all the way back (since DH is 6'7"). We got this on clearance at BRU. It's a very basic seat but does the job. Well, when we were installing it we noticed some issues, like the button you push to release the strap doesn't really work well, and the fold down thingy in front to adjust the angle of the seat is stuck in the folded position. There's actually an extra rivet in there so there's no way to fold it down. No wonder it was on clearance. We did buy the protection policy, thank goodness.
I just got off the phone with BRU and basically we can buy any seat we want, send in the receipt for both, and they will reimburse us for the original seat. And we get to keep the old seat as well. I'm thinking we should continue to use the old one and buy a new one for when we flip him FF (yes, we are turning him at a year. don't judge. or do, I'm fine with the decision). That way we won't be constrained by having to find a RFing seat that will fit.
SO- anyone want to help? It has to be one that BRU sells. I don't want to spend more than $150 (so up to $190 if I can use a 20% coupon). It has to have good height and weight limits. I'm looking at this one- http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13320148
It goes up to 52" and 70lbs which is awesome.
Thoughts? B is currently 9 months, 32", and 25lbs, for reference.
