NEED HELP RE: Britax Regents not fitting - Page 3

[an_aurora]

Just for kicks, my 32 month old has about half an inch of torso room in a Blvd. She's 28 pounds. I would be floored if we made it to 33 lbs in the seat.

I am SO happy for you!!!! Do you have a plain ol' bench, or the 50/50? I showed my DH a video, told him about the whole "push in while you attach" and he just could not do it. He tried. And tried! Maybe if we'd gone to a tech, they could have done it. I was feeling pretty hopeless about it, and thought I should just DECIDE since we might have missed the deadline to send them back, so I skipped the tech. We ended up selling them both taking just a small loss, and got the Graco Nautilus instead.

not to hijack, but does anyone have a pic of the blvd with the headrest all the way up? i tried jet in one at bru and the harness was right at his shoulders with the headrest as high as i could get it, but it definately was not sticking up past the shell. he is around 35 pounds but he does have a very tall torso.

i think i'm gonna have to make another trip to bru today. if he has growing room in a blvd i really want that - especially cause we could move marvel in it when we get the frontier (hopefully) and keep her rear-facing forever (or at least until she has to turn around to drive).

we have the 50/50 seat. I'm glad you figured something else out that works for you!

Thanks! So far, everyone I've talked to that had it work also had the 50/50 seat. (Maybe not everyone, just so far!) We have the regular bench.
