Although Zacharey had not outgrown his infant seat (Graco Snug ride 35)
we decided to switch him over to a bigger, more comfortable seat.
We purchased a Diono Radian RXT for him about a month and a half ago, but were waiting for the weather to warm before installing it in the van (and switching him over).
I was expecting installation to be a royal pain in the ass. Surprisingly not so much. The only pain in the ass is the strap adjustment on this seat. I wish it ether had different strap pads or was allowed to be used without the strap pads. I just find it is really hard to get snug as a hug tight enough when the strap covers are so thick and bulky. Clearly they are designed that way for optimal safety, but it is hard to adjust. Perhaps once the seat gets worked in a bit more, it will be easier to adjust. Or maybe once Zacharey is bigger.
All in good time I guess...
