Our 30# daughter is outgrowing her Fischer Price Safe Embrace used in my husband's Explorer. I would not recommend this seat due to the difficulty getting it to fit snuggly, and at almost 2 yrs old she can work the flimsy chest restraint. I love the RA in my car. We want to get a car seat for the Explorer that
1. Has a 5 pt harness and later can adapt to a shoulder belt. The chest clip must be a snap-in lock loke the RA
2. Can be adjusted by tugging the belt - not behind the seat like some Century models we saw.
3. Comes with the new universal adapter as we will be buying a new Windstar this year - supposedly they have the universal adapter too (ISOFIX??)
4. Is as easy to use as the Round About - I was not impressed by the next seat in the Britax line- Shoulder belt only and very little support for a sleeping child. Our families live 10 hours away and comfort is a must.
Any suggestions that come close to meeting this criteria are very welcome. I was very disillusioned while looking at car seats at both the Right Start and Babies R US. Also could find vey little CR info on all these new car seats
