Safety First Rumi

post #1 of 3

I was wondering if anyone had one of these and if they like it. How high does the harness go? Any taller than the Naulitus?

I had a chance to play with one a few weeks ago and I definitely do not like it.

 

The top most harness height is quite short, significantly shorter than the Nautilus.  My three year old was in the top head rest position without much room to grow.  

 

Installation requires it to be installed at a bizarre angle, creating almost a bucket 45 degree effect, with the seat pulled way forward, leaving a huge gap behind the seat.  (It has a line that says "must be level to ground" that you frequently see on rear facing seats but I've never before seen on a forward facing one.)

This really odd installation (which is both impractical and uncomfortable for installer and child) makes me suspect that the realize at the last minute their seat was not passing head excursion limits, so they threw in this 'fix' to bring it into line, not realizing that almost no one will actually install it the way it needs to be installed.  

 

Basically, I think this seat is a no-go.
