Lorus, now that I’m looking at it, I think you may be right. I was thinking that thet Onyx Roundabout was black all the way down the sides like the others are. But it’s not.

Looks like Violet is in the Britax Marathon or Decathlon.
It can’t be the Roundabout since the black part in the Onyx cover on comes half way down and the turns into gray.
I’m a Britax nut.

I couldn’t agree more! She seems to hate the media but hm, she’s always putting her and her daughter out there.

Kat, that’s what I’m guessing too. From the height of the seat, I’d say Roundabout.

Yup, she’s definitely pregnant. There should be an announcement fairly soon.

THIS PICTURE REALLY LOOKS LIKE JENNIFER IS EXPECTING!

I agree Violet should be rf, ideally, but I’m not going to complain because at least she’s following manufacturer guidelines of the seat.

(from the side view, it appears to be a Britax Roundabout or Decathalon in Onyx… the white shell makes it britax… there are no bars on the side like on the Marathon/Boulevard)

I can’t tell for sure if it is the Roundabout or the Decathalon, but from the height of the seat and where her head is, I am guessing Roundabout.

AND… since it’s the Roundabout, she may have turned her ff because the head has to be below the shell and it looks like Violet’s head might be at the top.

FF, she can stay in the roundabout until the tops of her ears are even with the top of the shell or until her shoulders go above the top slots.

My daughter was rearfacing until she was 2.5yrs old… when she reached the limits of her convertible carseats (Britax Marathon and Cosco Scenera 5-point harness model)

the newest research says children under 2 are 4x more likely to suffer severe/deadly spinal injuries when forward facing, so it is crucial to keep them rearfacing until age 2 unless they surpass the limits for rearfacing on their convertible carseats.

Wow, I didn’t know the rules had changed. When my twins were under a year, but over 20 lbs, we had a van that had built-in booster seats in the second row. At the time, they were in a rear-facing child seat, but I took them to the fire department for an inspection and was told it was ok to use the forward facing built-in child seat. The instructions on the child seat itself said “a year OR weighing more than 20 lbs”. My twins are also very tall for their age, so they fit well into the child seat. It scares me to hear the stats about injuries, esp. internal decapitation, though. I think if I had heard any of that then, I would have left them rear-facing longer. They hated rear-facing, by the way, so I think that was part of why we switched.

s, did you really mean Sweden and Norway have a far HIGHER mortality rate?
