Tanya posted the other day about it and I spoke to my husband about getting one. Well at first he said no but then we looked up the other convertible car seat we had, it was recalled in 07 (we haven't used it since probably late 06) and his infant carrier which has gone through all 3 boys expires this Dec

So it was inevitible we'd need a new car seat either way. With the 29.99 off the original price and our 15% discount at Target we decided to just bite the bullet and get it.

Let me just say this thing is HUGE hahaha. Bishop didn't know what to do when we put him in it to size straps

We got it in the Prentis which is a pretty green. I normally don't like green. I will have to get a photo of him in it later

It is huge but it fits in the back of my small car just fine. I love it! I'm sure Bishop will too once he gets used to it. I can't wait to see if him in it. Ours is the brown and grey/black.

We had to put him behind the drivers seat. I offered to put it behind the passenger (where i normally sit) but my husband didn't want to deal with our 2 year olds kicking. So he opted to sit a we bit closer to the steering wheel. I'm sure after a few outings, he'll take the kicking haha. It wouldn't fit in the middle though. We have our oldest in the 3rd row and this new car seat wouldn't allow one seat to be down so he could get in and out.

My car is jam packed with car seats now haha

We have that one too- although it's still in the box lol! DH and I need to get it installed soon, but with the infant carrier going up to 32lbs we're being lazy!

I love our MR 65. We have the brown and gray, 'Spiral' I guess it's called? Anyway though the thing IS a freakin' boat. We managed to fit ours in the middle but we have kind of a roomy sedan (it's a Mitsubishi), and even then, DF's seat hits it when he drives.

Aimee, we couldn't get ours in the middle because of Dane's car seat and we have to have 1 seat down so our 5 year old can get in and out of the car. It fit there but when it came to getting it in and level, it wasn't going.

We have one for each vehicle and I love it. I got it a couple of months ago because I couldn't stand to lug Colby around any longer in the carrier. It is big but luckily it fits in the middle and we can still extend both seats.

Rylan has that seat and it is huge. We have it in the middle and couldn't put the seat down for the older girls to get In the back either. Fortunately, it does give just enough room for the seat to tilt forward and slide so they can squeeze through. If it were my youngest by herself in the back, she'd never be able to get the seat to move by herself, though.

Problem is we need all 8 seats when DH is with us and between Ry's MR65 and Macie's huge seat it crazy crowded in there.
