True Fit Convertible Seat?

Anyone have one of these?  Do you like it?  I'm deciding b/w one of the Britax models(Marathon or Boulevard) and this one.  I can't do anything like the Radian or the Complete Air b/c my car is too small for these to fit.  The reviews for both of the ones I'm considering are good just looking for some "real" world experience.  TIA!

    We have had our ds in one since he was 6 months old and we absolutely love it! He still has a ton of room in it. The straps are soooo easy to change heights, the cover comes off easily for cleaning and it is very very easy to install! 

     We plan on buying a second one when the time comes for #2 to be in a convertible.

    We have a basic true fit and I recommend it.  It serves as the extra seat in DH"s car, so it was used by DD1 and DS for awhile there. DH only has one kid at at time, so I loved that he could adjust harness height depending on the kid without touching the install.  Other things I like: removable head rest for rear facing, easy install in every car I've tried, and high harness height. Its price point was nice as well.

    Love ours! It's a bit big (recline-wise) for my car Mazda CX7 but it fits and maybe I just just recline my own seat too much!!! I'd buy another!

    We have it, DS has been in it for about 4 weeks now. We love it.

    It was incredibly easy to install and it's easy to strap him in. I love how easy it is to clean because DS is a spitter. I also love that you can remove the headrest in the RF position to give more room up front, though we'll have to put it in soon because DS is pretty tall.

    I would definitely recommend this seat.

    Nothing wrong with this seat, or the Marathon. Not sure why you'd think that the Radian takes up more room, it doesn't (it might have a tall shell, but it has a smaller footprint front to back). What car are you installing the seat into? When do you want to do the switch over, have you thought about a Foonf?

    I have a Honda Fit and based on all the forums I've checked out, the Radian won't fit front to back without having the passenger seat all the way up and that isn't really an option for us.  The Fit can't have forceful bracing and I prefer to use the latch which is only in the outboard positions ont he Fit.  I checked out the Foonf but I can't really wrap my head around a $500 price tag.  I also don't know how well it will fit into the car and unless I can see one in the car prior to purchase, I don't think I'd buy it.

    The true fit is a GREAT seat - but I'd be concerned about it fitting - not sure how small your car is - but you might look at the Combi Cocorro - Kohls has it (After 30% off MAY30) with kohls card for roughly $150 right now.  We have subarus (which btw I can fit a radian in ) and they are small - with a 6' husband.. the cocorro is a good option.

     

    I'm sure you do lots of research - however - be warned - the cocorro is a shorter seat - thus will not last as long as the true fit - but we've decided it HOPEFULLY will last through rear facing then we'll use the RAdians.. or get a meastro
