I need some opinions for a friend of mine. Her dd is 2.5 yrs old. Not sure of her exact weight/height/torso height - but I know she is less than 30 lbs (probably around 28 lbs) and her torso is less than 14 inches. I give her all of my dd's hand-me-down clothes and she is the exact size my dd was this time last year.
Currently she is in some kind of an Evenflo convertible seat. It is really deep and has minimal padding - sort of like the Cosco Scenera.
My friend is looking to get her a new carseat - don't know what her price range is, but she is using her income tax money for it, so it will probably be at least $2,000. I don't think she really wants to spend the money on Britax or the like.
Her car doesn't have headrests. So the Apex is out. She was hoping to get something that could be used for a while. I talked her out of an Eddie Bauer harnessed booster. She was really impressed by Jana's Marathon, but she was scared off by the price.
I can't convince her to turn her dd back rf'ing, so the seat doesn't have to be a convertible. The Apex was the first that came to my mind, but then I saw her car had no headrests. She drives a mid to late-90's model 4 dr Honda Civic.
Any suggestions?
