You may remember me from the slightly controversial thread: 2 car seats, 2 strollers & an empty trunk? No problem.

Well, the wife still loves her EvoX and the kids keep getting bigger, so it was time to ditch the small Coccoros and get a bigger set for the twins.

We picked up a set of Harmony Defender 360s.

These are one of the narrower seats on the market. We are using LATCH and the top tether and they are locked in real solid. The wife and I can fit reasonably comfortable next to them. My mom can't fit, fwiw.

Easy access to the seat belt socket. Room for a small adult.


Selfie, door closed. There's space behind the car seat for my shoulder and hips, and as you can see I am not pressed against the door:


The Evo's been the safest mini van / suv we've ever known. It's avoided all incidents with handling, power and amazing brakes! We love it!

Thanks for looking ! That's it!

 

Are you like 5'8", 150lbs? I would never fit in the "seat" lol

 

.. hence why he stated "small adult".
I'm 6'1, 180 and wouldn't fit, just due to my height.

 

USC sticker on the X, yet UCLA shirt.... what's the story?

 

Less and Less. I've been on a cut for a long time. Dropped 40lbs. I'm doing StrongLifts 5x5 but my genes won't let me get muscular, just skinny fat

 

Yea, I noticed that when I was editing the photos. She's a Trojan and I'm a Bruin. Another Socal Brojan family. We tell people if we can make that rivalry work in our relationship, we can handle anything.

 

Nonsense, you can get muscular. Just need to eat more and lift heavy !

I missed that sentence buried in the pics.


I have a few friends like that. They have to eat 5000-6000 cals a day, and go to the gym for two hours 5 times a week to make any progress.
