I scanned through the previous posts and need some help please. DD is 9 months and petite for her age. She is 16 lbs but 27.5 inches we found out today. So we need to move up into the next car seat. I know she still needs to RF. But I'm seeing in other posts that maybe she should RF for even longer.
So... here are my questions:
* How long should she RF for? Is it an age, height, or weight thing?
* I was sold on the Britax Marathon, but in her RF Snugride, pulling the strap to tighten is difficult and I'm not confident I get it tight enough.
* I thought about the Evenflo Triumph b/c I know they have a dial knob to tighten the straps. BB rated them highly in the '05 book. Anyone know how they did in '06?
* My car has leather seats and currently we have a Munchkin pad underneath it. I don't really care about the leather being damaged, I just want the seat not to move.
* I have an '00 car with the top tether but is not latch equipped.
* Whatever we decide, we will have it reviewed by a certified tech.
Thanks for your help,
Christina
